When a whale carcass lands on the deep ocean floor, a cafe opens for business, and the diners don't stop rooting their way through the menu until the cupboards are bare.

Hagfish, zombie worms, sleeper sharks-this group of patrons is stranger than the denizens of the Mos Eisley Cantina in Star Wars. A fish in a lab coat, piloting a deep-sea submersible, is our guide to the weirdly fascinating goings-on miles beneath the ocean surface.

The backmatter includes rare whale-fall photos from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. Dr. Robert Vrijenhoek of MBARI and Dr. Craig Smith, a deep-ocean ecologist at the University of Hawaii, have helped Jacquie Sewell to ensure scientific accuracy.

Industry Reviews
" Young whale enthusiasts will lap this up, and primary-grade science teachers will have the crown jewel of the next marine life unit. " -- EB - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Tavis brightens his setting's inky depths with glowing, brightly hued, and proficiently rendered images of voracious sea creatures converging on their benthic banquet. Along with notes for a select photo gallery of cafe customers, Sewell closes with a report on the rare discovery of one 1987 fall, plus engaging profiles of two marine biologists she tapped as consultants. A revealing glimpse of a rarely studied link in the oceanic food chain." -- John Peters - Booklist
