Book #2 in the Rover and Speck series. Roth blends story and science facts in a splendid action-packed graphic novel. In this episode, interplanetary space explorers Rover and Speck set out on a dangerous mission to visit the unexplored Planet K2-18b. They splash down on the watery surface and soon find themselves inside a blubber beast.  As a bonus, illustrated science fact boxes containing  background information about marine biology, underwater creatures and other relevant science topics and jokes appear throughout the story. The book ends with an  art lesson from Rover and Speck. Recommend it to kids who like science and sophisticated humor.
