Media Reviews
The suspenseful story of an Arctic expedition in which the reader can see what the explorers cannot. The book has a sense of wonder, some surprises and detailed images that invite scrutiny. * Sunday Times *
Chloe Savage keeps the suspense flowing […] Her detailed illustrations, given plenty of room, will fascinate budding artists, scientists and explorers. -- Alex O'Connell * the Times *
This magical illustrated book sparkles with a seamless blend of scientific endeavour, magical adventure and passion for the wild. Chloe Savage’s enchanting debut is a journey to the end of the Earth that will charge the imaginations of younger readers with an appetite for adventure. * Children's Book of the Month, BBC Wildlife *
This is a wonderful story of exploration and endurance. * Juno *
I fell for this beautiful book when it first came out- before Chloe Savage, rightfully, won the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2024: Best Illustrated Book- with it... The Search for the Giant Arctic Jellyfish is the very believable story of an Arctic explorer and her dedicated team made magical by the stunning illustrations which do- incredibly well- two of the things that children love in a picture story book- offering minute detail, of the can-you-spot, countable kind, and the ‘it’s-behind-you’ (underneath you, just round the corner from you) kind of surprise; right to the very end…Which, for any grown-up who’s had to call it a day on a dream, brings a tear to the eye while at the same time managing to remind us that an ending is not always the end. * Dumfries & Galloway Life Magazine *
