Into the Deep. Crypto

First book in a brilliant new comic-book series.

Ophelia is moving to the small coastal town of Saltfjord. She’s going to live there with her new foster family, the cheerful and sporty Birken family. Luckily, she soon meets neighbour Bernard – he’s a fisherman and shares Ophelia's fascination for undersea creatures. Ophelia would much rather discuss cryptozoology than hang off a climbing wall.
On her first night in her new home, Ophelia sees something mysterious from her window. What’s really hiding beneath the surface of the waves? And might it have something to do with the boy who dived into the sea and vanished?
Follow Ophelia and Bernard into the deep!
