(Classic Starts: Moby-Dick) [By: Retold from the Herman Melville original] [Apr, 2010]

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.
