adventure childrens ecological endangered life marine turtles whales

Wave and Web are two teenage turtles living happily in the waters around Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Their only real worry is dodging tiger sharks, which they seem to be managing pretty well until one day they're confronted by an even bigger marine creature - a juvenile humpback whale called Davo. 

He tells them of his adventures on the annual whale migration from Antarctica to warmer, tropical waters, explaining the dangers of large sharks, orcas and worse still - human whalers. Finally Davo continues his journey northwards leavings the turtles to ponder the marvel of such an enormous gentle giant before they return to the safety of the reef that protects them from predators.

As with the prequel, A Tale of Two Turtles, Richard Marman's illustrations are colourfully vibrant while his fast, entertaining narration challenges the need and justification for whaling in the 21st Century, ensuring enjoyable and thought-provoking reading for children and adults alike.

Undertow by K.R. Conway (1st book in trilogy) by Sharkprose

** BARNES AND NOBLE TEEN SELECTION 2015 - TOP 7 YA's THAT WILL LEAVE YOU TERRIFIED OF THE OCEAN ** "Dawson's Creek meets Jaws and The Goonies in a twisted, supernatural tale unlike anything I've ever read. I am totally addicted!" - ARC reviewer SUMMARY: Eila Walker knows luck is not a friend, so she is downright shocked to inherit a million-dollar Cape Cod home. And yeah, her new town isn't perfect: the cheerleaders are heinous clones, the local undertow can kill ya, and her Great Grams was supposedly fried by lightning in the harbor square. Still, Eila is hopeful her luckless days are in the past . . . until history decides to repeat itself. When Raef O'Reilly becomes her friendly, yet weirdly protective shadow, Eila thinks life is pretty darn perfect - until she is hauled beneath the waves by an unnatural undertow. Revealing coal-black eyes and iron-like strength as he rescues her, Raef can no longer hide what he is . . . or what she can do. Eila, last of her kind, can supposedly channel the power of human souls, while Raef is more adept at stealing them. Even worse, the legend about her ancestor isn't such a myth, since Eila's grandmother was one kick-butt warrior until her lightning-like power backfired. A power that is written all over Eila's DNA. Determined to stay one step ahead of a dangerous clan that is hunting her, Raef, along with three unlikely allies, will do all they can to protect her. But as hidden pieces of their brutal histories unravel, Eila begins to understand just what went down in the harbor square. She soon realizes that following in her grandmother's fearless footsteps may be the only way to save those she loves . . . including Raef.

Agents Underwater and the nuclear tyrant by s_emperor

A thrilling adventure story book written by a 12 years old boy, for readers age 7-12 years old. A secret underwater organisation is out to wipe out fish-kind starting with disastrous radiation leaks and destroying the law enforcement. it is up to James Finsby, Edward Polyp and criminal helper Max Alexis to stop them. But who is responsible? And will Max say yes? Fish are not dumb. This is a common misconception among humans. You may say: I am pretty sure fish are dumb. Look at how many of them get caught! Ridiculous numbers! Very fair point. Some fish are dumb then. Others, such as the majority in this story, are smart ones. (Although they can't understand who the heck is taking over the ocean in the story, since it's somehow not a human.) The events in this story have been penned down by the vice president of fish in Singapore, James Finsby. He has taken part in a fair portion of the story (Mostly as a nerd). I should venture to say that he helped take down the villain in this story heroically. He may be a nerd, but he's THE nerd. That did not sound much better. Well, what am I supposed to say? If you have no interest in evil sharks, radioactive weapons, spy gadgets, comedy or more comedy, then you can stop reading right now. I won't force you. If you ARE interested, then read on!!
