In this graphic novel, oceanographer Fabien Cousteau (grandson of Jacques) learns of a group of Hawaiian sea turtles ensnared in an abandoned fishing net and sets off to save them. Enlisting the help of "Junior Expeditioners" Bianca and Baylor, Fabien combs Molokini Island's coral reefs to find and free the turtles. The story is inspired by real expeditions and incorporates information about ocean conservation and microplastic pollution alongside search-and-rescue action. Magazine-style sidebars provide additional facts; digital illustrations effectively depict a diverse range of ocean environments and wildlife.

Fabien Cousteau and two junior explorers embark on a mission to rescue endangered sea turtles in the coral reefs of Maui, Hawai’i, in this next brightly illustrated installment of the Fabien Cousteau Expeditions graphic novel series.

Fabien Cousteau came to Maui, Hawai’i for a vacation, but when he hears that endangered sea turtles are in trouble, he knows he has to help! Junior explorers Baylor and Bianca join Fabien and local conservationists on their mission to rescue these turtles from ghost nets—fishing nets that have been left adrift in the ocean and tangle up anything that strays into their path. During their dive, they’ll also encounter sharks, humpback whales, dolphins, seals, eagle rays, octopi, and the vibrant variety of wildlife that lives among the coral reefs of Molokini Bay. Can the team save these injured turtles in time?

Dive deep into this colorful and informative graphic novel adventure that brings readers up close and personal with the sea creatures of the vast and beautiful Pacific Ocean. Along the way, kids will also see how pollution and climate change can impact entire underwater ecosystems and find actionable steps that they can take to reduce waste and protect these precious reefs.
