Starfish Super Squad 1 – A Mystery Map

Written and Illustrated by Tama M.

Shelly and Spike are two starfish playing hide and seek in the ocean when Spike gets trapped under a seashell. They will need a new friend and teamwork to set him free.

When the two friends discover a treasure map, they are eager to set forth on an adventure. As they bring readers on the journey, they will learn about ocean currents, sea turtles, and stingrays. The illustrations are bright and colorful. The text vocabulary includes analogies and onomatopoeia that make it fun to read out loud.

This book is part of a series. While I enjoyed the tale, readers will need to purchase the second book to find out its conclusion. Recommended especially for primary grade readers.
