In Jule Vernes epic tale, Captain Nemo and the crew of the undersea vessel,
Nautilus, journey through an at times fictional, yet at times very real,
undersea world, from the lost city of Atlantis to the Red Sea. Graffex is a
series of illustrated literary classics retold for young readers, using a
graphic novel format which is particularly popular with reluctant readers.
Specially commissioned full-color artwork brings excitement and atmosphere to
this stirring tale. Speech bubbles work with the main text to emphasize and
enhance the retelling. A running glossary at the foot of each page helps young
readers with any challenging vocabulary without disrupting their reading
experience. Includes information about the author, the historical background to
the period in which the author lived and a time line of world events that
places the work in its historical context.
