Dive into this gripping survival tale where the stakes are as deep as the ocean itself.

From the publisher

A thrilling survival story from Michael Northrop, the New York Times bestselling author of TombQuest.He couldn’t sleep. That’s how it all started. When Davey wakes, just as the sun is rising, he can’t wait to slip out of the crammed hotel room he’s sharing with his family. Leave it to his parents and kid brother to waste an entire day of vacation sleeping in! Davey heads straight for the beach, book and glasses in hand, not bothering to leave a note. As the sparkling ocean entices him, he decides to test the water, never mind that No Swimming sign. But as the waves pull him farther from shore, Davey finds himself surrounded by water – and something else, too. Something circling below the surface, watching, waiting. It’s just a matter of time…This adventure by New York Times bestselling author Michael Northrop will make readers think twice before taking a dip in the water.
