Mak the Kraken: Illustrated by Nick McCarthy

By London J. Maddison

Mak the Kraken is a heartwarming tale of a young sea creature from the undiscovered depths of the ocean. Mak’s dreams of friendship spark bravery that leads him to adventure at the surface of the sea. His determination to change the perception that the Kraken are ugly sea monsters takes him through the challenges of rejection and people fearing him. It is a story of persistence, accepting those who are different and achieving goals, woven through a theme focused upon conservation of the ocean’s resources. The story is uniquely followed by important scientific facts and literature to provide the opportunity for additional learning.
