Description: "Island boy Aaron loves the sea. But he's a bit scared of going under the water. Then one day Aaron finds an octopus stranded on the beach. And as he helps Dad return it to the water, something amazing happens a moment of magic between the boy and the octopus. Can Aaron lose his fear and go underwater? Maybe now he can help look after the sea creatures and be Aqua Boy!"--

Review Quotes: Wilson-Max's deeply saturated, thickly outlined acrylic paintings depict vibrant scenes of ocean life and effectively capture the love between Aaron's family members, their passion for this coastal habitat, and their frustration upon witnessing ocean pollution. . . . Certain to instill a passion for the ocean and its many wonders.
--Kirkus Reviews

A great summer read, especially for reluctant swimmers.
