School might be over, but that doesn’t mean kids should stop learning. In fact, a recent study shows that students who read as few as 6 books over the summer maintained the literacy skills they developed during the previous school year, while students who read a higher number of books achieved even greater success.

Check out Oceanology by Zoticus de Lesseps. It’s the newest release from the Ogolies series.
What if a sixteen-year-old assistant traveled aboard the storied Nautilus, the narwhal-shaped submarine of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea? And what if he were the sole survivor of the ill-fated voyage and went on to relay his adventures to a certain . . . Jules Verne? Find this brave young man’s own account in the lavishly illustrated Oceanology, a tale of an 1866 voyage of discovery that investigates diving bells and shipwrecks; coral reefs and ice canyons; sharks, giant octopi, and luminous sea monsters; underwater volcanoes, and even the legendary island of Atlantis.
My husband and I have each spent hours with this book on our own. It is fascinating and has some interesting illustrations and information. The one thing I don’t like is the text is not easily read…a lot of it is in the script. Aside from that, it’s a great read with my children. We allLOVE it!
If you’re not big on the library you can purchase this great book through your local bookstore. It has a suggested retail price of $19.99.
