Strange activity in the bay,
the Castle looms above town,
so many secrets and so much danger!
In a new town for dad’s museum job, Miro satisfies his old book habit by selling old diving gear and things that he finds in the attic.
Glimpsing a deep-sea fisherman wrapped by a giant tentacle puts Miro and schoolmate Zia at odds with the Works fish-processing plant manager who threatens to tell Miss Danforth, owner of their town… and employer of their parents.
Digging into the town’s history reveals a tragic last-century Antarctic expedition, eerie creatures discovered on that voyage, and enduring links that may endanger their New Zealand coastal town even now!
What really happens inside the Works?
Will Zia’s photos expose dire secrets?
Would reclusive Miss Danforth help the teens?
A pitch-black iceberg and a perilous journey – the expedition journal is a book of secrets within this graphic novel of mystery and discovery!
What local historical fact has taken you by surprise?

Sounds like a cool book.
Local historical fact that surprised me? To learn my ancestors were buried under what is now a gas station. Okay, I can’t say I’m really that surprised.
I love letter X posts! Always such variety.
It’s hard to believe the alphabet part of the blogging challenge is over for 2021. Down to the after survey, reflections, and the “road trip” sign-up.
Plus, I’m taking part in the Bout of Books read-a-thon in May. So much excitement!
