Don't you worry, son. Whatever it is that's been killing the sailors, I will kill it. In this science-fiction classic - reimagined by Dave Eggers in modern times, and from the point of view of the fourteen-year-old Consuelo - the famous oceanographer Pierre Arronax sets sail from New York. His aim: to hunt down a mysterious sea-monster which has been terrorising the oceans, wrecking ship after ship and causing countless deaths.

Consuelo and Arronax join Nemo on the submarine, and so begin their exciting adventures...
