Neil, The Amazing Sea Cucumber

Hello. I'm Neil. I'm a sea cucumber. It's a bit strange that I'm the star of this book. Usually books are about the cool sea creatures.And I'm boring, even for a sea cucumber.
Nothing exciting ever happens to me.
At least, it hasn't before now ...
With deadpan text and hilarious illustrations, this is a fabulous story about a very unlikely hero and one epic adventure.
