“Call me Ishmael”. Specially adapted for young readers this version of Herman Melville’s masterpiece catches the drama of his compelling story.
In the company of young Ishmael, we meet the crew of the Pequod and set sail under Captain Ahab on the extraordinary journey that ends in that fatal confrontation with the white whale, Moby Dick. The language is clear and straightforward but still conveys the strangeness and wonder of Melville’s story. Black and white illustrations add to the appeal and there are useful footnotes to explain nautical terms and other vocabulary that will be unfamiliar to its audience.
An adapted and illustrated edition of Herman Melville's Moby Dick - at an easy-to-read level for all ages! Also includes a QR code for the free audiobook!

When Ahab seeks revenge on the creature that took his leg, will the crew survive their fateful encounter? Or will this be another cautionary tale to be passed through the ages?
