Classic Starts®: Moby-Dick by Herman Melville & Kathleen Olmstead &  digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Call me Ishmael. These three famous words begin one of America’s most epic novels, a tale of one obsessed captain, his doomed crew, and an elusive white whale named Moby-Dick.  The massive original, however, can be very hard for young readers to navigate.  This beautifully abridged and adventure-filled version will thrill children and whet their appetite for the complete work—when they are ready to tackle it.
