Excerpt
“Hurry, the sharks! The sharks are getting closer! I can’t move!
Tangled among the maze of pipes that crisscrossed between the big legs of the lighthouse, the net trapped the little dolphin. Outlined against the white sand, Mike saw five, six, maybe eight sharks circling below. As he swam over to Naarin, Mike realized that none of the dark forms swimming below had focused on them-at least not yet.”
