In this very exciting book, you will travel to the deep beyond with Otis Barton + William Beebe and see many odd creatures. Will the journey go smoothly or will something go wrong? Join the duo as they discover the deep. I would recommend this for ages 7+ I liked how there was a bit of background info for both of them because it was very cool. This was super fun to read and if you liked this book then I would also recommend The Hen Who Sailed Around the World.
Otis and Will Discover the Deep: The Record-Setting Dive of the Bathysphere
By Barb Rosenstock
The suspenseful, little-known true story of two determined pioneers who made the first dive into the deep ocean.
On June 6, 1930, engineer Otis Barton and explorer Will Beebe dove into the ocean inside a hollow metal ball of their own invention called the Bathysphere.
They knew dozens of things might go wrong. A tiny leak could shoot pressurized water straight through the men like bullets! A single spark could cause their oxygen tanks to explode! No one had ever dived lower than a few hundred feet...and come back. But Otis and Will were determined to become the first people to see what the deep ocean looks like.
This suspenseful story from acclaimed author Barb Rosenstock with mesmerizing watercolors by award-winning artist Katherine Roy will put you right in the middle of the spine-tingling, record-setting journey down, down into the deep.
