Book Worm's Story Snacks | Into the Midnight Zone

Can a bookworm who's afraid of the dark explore the deepest, darkest place on Earth?

Join the Book Worm on this deep-sea Story Snack and dive three thousand feet below the ocean's surface — where the sun has never reached, the water pressure would squish a submarine flat, and the darkness is full of things that glow.

Meet Augusta, a four-hundred-and-twelve-year-old anglerfish who knows everything about the deep ocean and almost nothing about the world above it. Discover lanternfish who wear their names in blinking lights, ride alongside a thirty-foot silver oarfish, and come face-to-face with a jellyfish that has been pulsing through the dark since before the dinosaurs. Then, when danger threatens Augusta's ancient neighborhood, the Book Worm will need your help to save the day.

Together, you'll discover why the dark isn't something to be afraid of — it's just full of things that haven't been found yet.
