It was a real news in Nantucket. The story was started in August 1937 that the headline of the newspaper was about "A SEA MONSTER was in Nantucket". The news came out, which became a famous news that people were talking about it. scientists in Boston and New York wanted to help in identifying the monster that asked the newspaper editor to send them pictures for inspection. Also, some scientist at the Harvard Museum of Zoology and the Boston Aquarium studied the footprint. They made it looked like a serious thing. However, when Tony Sarg said that he found the sea monster, people went to check it and knew that it was a huge rubber balloon.
I really like this book because the storyline is very interesting. It is a very useful material for teachers to teach about that the report from the newspaper is not 100% right. they need to do research to find the truth. On the other hand, there are a timeline of the events, vocabulary. and sources in the back. If students have questions about vocabulary, they can check the vocabulary on that page. It also provided extra information for students. it is very useful. The other things that I like are the illustrations in the book, which are very pretty and vivid.
