Bookroo's summary

Jack dives into danger at the Great Barrier Reef, investigating a diver's disappearance. Armed with a morphing suit and an egg-shaped submarine, he uncovers a pirate plot. Facing Komodo dragons, sharks, and lethal jellyfish, Jack must outwit the villains and survive the ocean's perils. Will he rescue the diver and protect the treasure, or become another victim of the deep? Adventure and suspense await as Jack battles nature and nefarious foes.

From the publisher

In one of his most daring exploits, Jack goes down under – literally – to investigate the disappearance of a diver off the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. Using everything in his backpack arsenal from anti-puke pills to a morphing suit, an egg-shaped submarine to Disappearing Milk, he exposes a deadly nest of pirates raiding a shipwreck site. Jack has to thwart their schemes, evade their attempts on his life, and escape the primordial hunger of three deadly species: a Komodo dragon, a set of sharks, and the most poisonous predators in the reef, the Irukandji jellyfish. Can he save the treasure and the diver, not to mention himself? Canny and resourceful, Jack will delight readers and impress their parents.
