Synopsis
A bright, science-minded boy goes to the beach equipped to collect and examine flotsam--anything floating that has been washed ashore. Bottles, lost toys, small objects of every description are among his usual finds. But there's no way he could have prepared for one particular discovery: a barnacle-encrusted underwater camera, with its own secrets to share . . . and to keep. This wordless book's vivid watercolour paintings have a crisp realism that anchors the elements of fantasy. Shifting perspectives, from close-ups to landscape views, and a layout incorporating broad spreads and boxed sequences, add drama and motion to the storytelling and echo the photographic theme. Filled with inventive details and delightful twists, each snapshot is a tale waiting to be told.

Review
"Wiesner offers another exceptional, wordless picture book that finds wild magic in quiet, everyday settings." Booklist, ALA, Starred Review
"New details swim into focus with every rereading of this immensely satisfying excursion." Publishers Weekly, Starred "A mind-bending journey of imagination." School Library Journal, Starred "In Wiesner's much-honored style, the paintings are cinematic, coolly restrained and deliberate...An invitation not to be resisted." Kirkus Reviews, Starred "Wiesner's detailed watercolors make the absurd wonderfully believable...and children will surely love 'Flotsam' from start to finish." New York Times Book Review Notable Book "The meticulous and rich detail of Wiesner's watercolors makes the fantasy involving and convincing." Horn Book "Wiesner continues to show children that things aren't always what they seem. Would the Caldecott committee consider a three-peat?" Bookpage "Wiesner returns with his traditional wordless-narrative format for another fantastical outing." Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksBook Description
Another wildly imaginative Caldecott Medal winning picture book from David Wiesner.
