review:
'Ocean Speaks: Marie Tharp and the Map That Moved the Earth' by Jess Keating with illustrations by Katie Hickey tells the story of the woman who mapped the ocean floor.

Marie Tharp as a young girl loved watching the world. She learned about science. She wanted to go on ships, but wasn't allowed to at the time. She stayed back and plotted the data coming in, and found something astounding. She discovered an undersea mountain range. She wasn't believed at first, but made a really important discovery.

I liked this telling of a historical person. It concludes with more biographical information and a short Q&A section. The illustrations are great and I especially love the really large page spreads used to show how large Marie Tharp's maps were.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Penguin Random House Canada and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
