20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Start-to-Finish: Gold The Start-to-Finish Gold collection is a high-interest considerate reading series designed to promote independent reading for struggling readers aged 9 to 17 years but reading at the 2nd-3rd grade level. Each set consist of a paperback book, a computer CD ROM book, an audio book and a teacher's guide. NOTE: A portable USB DVD writer is available for loan if your computer system does not have a CD/DVD drive. A professor of marine studies, his self-effacing young assistant, and a Canadian harpooner join an expedition to investigate a monster that has been terrorizing the world. When the ship finally runs into the monster, these three very different men are thrown overboard, only to be rescued and then taken prisoner by the very monster they’ve been chasing. The monster turns out to be a submarine called the Nautilus, and its captain and creator is Captain Nemo, an eccentric, troubled genius.
