Petronius, an articulate seahorse, narrates this ocean adventure about Higgins Hole, a peaceful reef community. When threatened by a group of bloodthirsty sharks, Petronius and friends must figure out how to save their community and their lives. Fishy puns, dynamic vocabulary, suspenseful action, and black-and-white drawings of the smart yet goofy-looking sea creatures make this a winning package.
