Sea-Ing Is Believing Steven Bulter

The Nothing to See Here Hotel is no ordinary seaside establishment, and an underwater discovery gives Frankie Banister and his family a new world of trouble to investigate. Hidden wonders and peculiar creatures make the familiar hotel feel larger and stranger than ever. Steven Butler mixes comic energy with adventure, giving developing readers an imaginative setting, lively surprises and characters who must think quickly when everyday hospitality takes an extraordinary turn.

Age suitability and learning: Primary (6-8), Older children (9-12). The longer narrative suits children ready to sustain attention across a developing story, whether reading independently or sharing it aloud. Following characters and events supports comprehension, vocabulary and reading stamina; discussing motives, settings and choices encourages inference, empathy and imaginative thinking.
