The Ocean Squid Explorers' Club

In this fourth explorers adventure we meet Ursula, a part mermaid girl who is determined to follow in Stella's footsteps and help her to defeat the Collector!

*Ursula knew the submarine wasn't designed to go this deep, but what choice did they have? No one wanted to get swallowed up by a colossal sneezing jellyfish!

• In a distant watery corner of the Explorers Kingdom, a submarine engineer, Ursula, is determined to become an explorer. Unfortunately, she hides an extraordinary secret, which makes her the sworn enemy of the Ocean Squid Explorers' Club were they ever to find out . . . But when The Collector threatens the Club, Ursula throws caution to the wind and leads an expedition through treacherous waters, filled with gremlins, aboard the Blowfish submarine - and joined by her friends Max, Genie and Jai - and even her idol Stella!

Thrilling, heart-pounding adventure with exquisite detail throughout. Alex Bell's world-building is second to none.

Alex Bell deftly takes her readers to another enchanting corner of the Explorers Kingdom - we meet the submarine engineer Ursula, who works for the Ocean Squid Explorers' Club. Orphaned, but determined to make her way in the world, Ursula wants to follow in Stella Starflake Pearl's footsteps and become an explorer, even though she is 'only' a girl! But she has countless barriers in her way, not least the fact that she is part mermaid - and therefore the sworn enemy of all Ocean Explorers . . . When the mysterious and now much feared Collector threatens the very existence of the Club, however, Ursula does not hesitate to defend it, even though it puts her own future in jeopardy. At last it seems she will meet Stella and go on an expedition of her own - through treacherous waters -full of gremlins and far worse - aboard the Blowfish submarine, helped by the suspicious twins Genie and Jai Bartholomew Singh.

Thrilling, heart-pounding adventure with exquisite detail throughout. Alex Bell's world-building is second to none. Children will adore this.
