20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a great book. It takes place inFrance when a "whale" starts attacking ships. SoProf. Aronnax sets out to rid the seas of this whale with his loyal servant Conseil and a harpooner by the name of Ned Land.But...end up as crew of a subarine called the Nautilus, the "whale" depicted by sailors. The captain,known as Captain Nemo, brings them through many adventures. Some include visiting the lost city of Atlantis,And even finding a lost continent! Jules Verne is my favorite author and I would recommend any book by him.
