Dead in the Water — John Townsend

There's been a gruesome shark attack off an Australian beach. It looks like a massive man-eater has struck - but things are not quite what they seem. Mumbling a meaningless message to his young rescuers, the victim draws them in to a web of intrigue, lies and deadly danger. This book is part of the Breakouts series. It is perfect for readers who have gained a bit more confidence in reading and who are after a more challenging read, but who aren't yet ready for longer, more demanding reads.
