Marina Royale

Hubert is losing his best friend to a bully. 
Meet Rainbow Reef's fabulous fish kids: Emma and Aiden, the panicky pufferfish twins, Sparky the doggone friendly dogfish, Olga the eight-legged bully, Sturgeon the (wannabe) Surgeon, and Hermit, a tiny hermit crab with sky-high ambitions.

Hubert wants to play cards with his best friend Sparky the dogfish. Too bad Sparky's other friend, Olga Octopus, thinks Hubert is too small to play. When Hubert accuses Olga of cheating, she carries him out past the drop-off and abandons him where the sea monsters live. Can Hubert outwit hungry sharks to get home safely? 

Lost and stripped of his protective shell, Hubert has to dig deep — into the sand — uncovering a cave with a surprising secret. Marina Royale is the first book in the Saltwater Spy School series. If you're looking for fantastic sea creatures and laugh-out-loud adventures both kids and adults will enjoy, you'll love these fast-paced stories from Apricot Banks.
