Über dieses E-Book

Nighttime on a coral reef - the magical, mysterious hours when day creatures seek hiding places and night creatures emerge to hunt for food. A twelve-year-old girl finds herself about to make a night scuba dive, and she's scared to death. But what she finds beneath the sea and the adventures she faces give her new courage and memories she can never forget.
