Bookroo's summary

Join a young seaman aboard the Pequod, where Captain Ahab's relentless hunt for the elusive white whale, Moby Dick, drives the crew into a dangerous odyssey. Will obsession lead to their doom?

From the publisher

Call me Ishmael. These three famous words begin one of America’s most epic novels, a tale of one obsessed captain, his doomed crew, and an elusive white whale named Moby-Dick. The massive original, however, can be very hard for young readers to navigate. This beautifully abridged and adventure-filled version will thrill children and whet their appetite for the complete work–when they are ready to tackle it.
