Unfathomable is an illustrated middle-grade nonfiction book that includes stories about octopus wrestling, well-traveled rubber duckies, an ill-fated attempt to use dynamite to dispose of a dead whale, an ocean-worthy vessel built entirely of trash, and so much more.

Some stories date back hundreds of years, others are considerably more current. The stories are 100 percent true, but their fantastic nature will leave readers questioning everything they know about nature and science – and wondering what else might be possible.
