Discover a secret in the deep with Blue Ocean Bob as he helps some new friends in the Sea of Kerchoo

While snorkeling along the ocean reef, Bob senses something in the deep below. With encouragement from Cathy the crab, he trusts his intuition and assembles a team to explore a shipwreck on the ocean floor.  But despite help from Al the dolphin and Molly Marine, Bob is unable to complete the descent. With Doc the turtle, Earl the clam, and Eve the octopus all weighing in, Mary Marine is called back to the Island of Roses to complete the dive team's training.

Thanks to a creative plan devised by Molly Marine and the cooperation of some jellyfish and octopus assistants, Bob and his dive team perform an unusual deep-water rescue of their new friends trapped at the bottom of the Sea of Kerchoo.

​The Adventures of Blue Ocean Bob: A Secret in the Deep is the fourth installment in this colorful and inspiring early chapter book series that introduces young readers to timeless principles of achievement.
