Danny Pearson Deep Trouble

Annotation

Laura and her family have moved to the coast, and she is finding it hard to fit in. She much prefers being by the sea than going to her new school, and it pays off when she makes her first friend. She finds a little squid and nicknames him Ziggy. Taking him home to nurse him back to health, her dad flushes him down the toilet! Laura gets over it gradually, until a news reporter announces a large container ship being attack by a giant squid, who looks just like Ziggy! Will Laura be able to save the Ziggy and the container ship from destruction? Gems is a series of ten books highlighting strong and unique female protagonists. Series features include brilliant full colour illustrations throughout the book, bite-sized chunks of text and questions at the end to ensure understanding. Topics range from aliens and sea monsters to twisted fairy tales and mistaken identities.
