Danger on the Reef

In "Danger on the Reef" by Jake Maddox, twelve-year-old Jasmine Lopez, a certified scuba diver, explores the coral reefs around Fiji where her marine biologist parents are stationed. Her ten-year-old brother, Arjun, resents Jasmine's diving privileges and believes he already knows everything about diving without his sister's help. When Arjun's overconfidence leads him into danger, the siblings must work together during a confrontation with a reef shark. The book is written for middle grades (ages 9-12) at a reading level of 3.9.
