JasmineLopez and her brother Arjun love exploring the coral reefs around Fiji where their marine biologist parents are stationed. Jasmine already a certified scuba diver dreams of following in her parents' footsteps and wants to help Arjun do the same. Unfortunately her younger brother is sure he already knows everything. That attitude gets them into danger when Arjun drifts too far from the group during a dive and straight into a reef shark.
Who is Jake Maddox Athlete, author, world-traveler - or all three He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps - literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.
