Arthur has always felt different. But when a trip to the aquarium takes a turn for the weird, Arthur is left with even more questions about his mother. He doesn't understand why she left them and hates being different from the other children in class.

He gets picked on by the kids, especially by Matt and Mike, but there's one person who always seems to stand up for him: Claudia. She's tough and is a friend who won't let Arthur stand alone. When a storm comes in, it's up to Arthur to save those who bullied him, but it might just help them see him in a new light.

I love who awesome Claudia is and how strong she is. Arthur needs someone whether he realizes it or not and I love that Claudia was there even when he pushed her away. This is perfect for Aquaman fans who want a little more about what his childhood had been like. It's a great read after watching the movie.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to fans of Aquaman, superheroes, and stories about friendship and overcoming bullying.
