About this book

Deep down at the bottom of the sea in a town called Nowhere (in the middle of nowhere) you'll find a strange and wonderful group of creatures. 

There’s Ollie the vampire squid, a sea bunny called Zing, an anemone, an angler fish, and many more unusual deep sea animals. Together, they are the Squid Squad.  

Join the gang as they enjoy some light-hearted and hilarious adventures in their aquatic hometown. Solve the case of the mysterious burping whale, find a secret world hidden in a toilet, and, most importantly, keep Zing away from chocolate cake! 

Aoife Dooley’s new graphic novel for younger readers is heaps of fun. There are loveable characters to get to know, tons of wacky humour, and vibrant artwork throughout to keep children engaged. 

The interactions between Ollie, Zing, and their friends are great fun and are reminiscent of SpongeBob SquarePants’ quirky antics – especially the relentless curiosity and energy of Zing. 

With four short stories to enjoy, real facts about sea creatures to learn, and a very accessible format and text level, this is a brilliant choice for newly independent readers to get stuck into.
