This book is amazing. When EJ thought she was scared of deep water she was sent on an ocean mission. She dived into the ocean, she saved an agent, worked with a dolphin, snuck into a submarine, and caught the black coral thief, Adrianna X. And finally, she learned to overcome her fear of water. Overall, I think that's a mission complete. The message in this story is to face your fears and you might learn something.

January 12, 2025This is a story I read as a kid. I don’t know how to rate it, since I haven’t read it since. But the memory of its existence has lived on in my mind.
