Jules Verne 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Bowen, Carl. Jules Verne 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Minneapolis, MN: Stone Arch Books, 2008. ISBN: 978-1-4342-0447-9.

Jules Verne's classic retold by Carl Bowen in a graphic novel. When ships are being sunk by an unknown creature, scientist Peirre Aronnax, along with his servant Consiel and the harpooner Ned Land, set out after the creature, but fall into an unforgettable adventure. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a book with a gripping plot and well-drawn pictures. Because of the moderately difficult words I recommend this for grades 3 and up.
