It’s lights, camera, ACTION under the sea, but Stefano the Squid is having a wobble. All the other creatures seem far more amazing – no wonder the Deep Sea TV team don’t notice him.

But when disaster strikes, Stefano steps up! Can one ordinary squid save the day?

"Meddour's sweet and funny story about an anxious cephalopod and his sea cucumber friend will entertain youngsters as they dive into this action-packed, aquatic adventure that works both as an exciting story and a clever way to inspire self-belief."

"This charming underwater adventure, which is full of warmth and humour, demonstrates that with courage and self-belief, anyone can achieve great things. Rich, colourful illustrations fill each page, bringing this delightful tale to life for a young audience."

"This was a hit in assembly which is really the greatest test of all ... It's a great, entertaining read for all ages."

"A vibrant, funny and rich story that may help us look more closely at heroic lessons and the importance of our marine life."

"With vibrant illustrations by Duncan Beedie and lots of sea life to enjoy, this is a lovely story about the way we all have a part to play."
