　　《大象在哪裡？》的姊妹作品。這一次，生態浩劫的場景發生在海底王國，五彩繽紛的魚群和珊瑚礁裡躲著海星、水母和小丑魚。但是大家怎麼都突然游往同一個方向，是什麼奇怪的「新物種」吸引了所有生物的注意力？而大家為什麼一個接著一個消失呢？

　　驚喜結局平反了海底王國遭受的不公待遇，卻也傳達出發人省思的提醒：海底王國該由誰守護？面對被廢棄物汙染的河水、海洋，以及遍布垃圾的海灘，我們又應做出什麼改變才能讓海星、水母和小丑魚擁有美好的家園？

　　Barroux tackles ocean pollution in the stunning follow-up to the critically acclaimed Where's the Elephant? - recommended by The Guardian, Sunday Times and The Sun.

　　Find the whale, the clownfish and the starfish on every page - until the piles of rubbish start to make it much too difficult. Both a Where's Wally-style spotting game and a striking work of art, this almost wordless tale puts the power back in the hands (or fins) of the natural world, with a boldly beautiful twist ending.

　　With an insight and warmth comparable to Frann Preston-Gannon's The Journey Home, Barroux has created an astoundingly powerful modern classic that promises to be remembered for generations to come. The perfect way to introduce the topic of the environment to children.

　　Barroux's books include Uncle John and the Giant Cherry Tree, which won him the 2005 Enfantaisie Award, and the extraordinary Line of Fire, Diary of An Unknown Soldier which has received widespread critical acclaim. In 2015 Barroux won the first Parents, Babies, a Book competition for his work Chuut! which will be given to every newborn baby in the north of France. His book Where's the Elephant? has been longlisted for the Kate Greenway Medal 2016.
