Andee the Aquanaut

A B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree Andee is a young boy living on an island. His parents are marine biologists who search the reef for new sea-life that could cure illnesses. Andee befriends two young dolphins, Tingo and Tango. One day a great storm rips across the island and the waves pull Andee out to sea. In their dinghy, in the storm, his parents are lost forever. Tingo and Tango save Andee and he becomes one with his new dolphin family. Little does he know - he is the Chosen One. Many quests and adventures await him. Special powers are given to him, allowing him to be one of the great and legendary Aquanauts of the Marine Kingdom; the Lost City. His purpose at first is to assist and protect all marine life. But he's destined for a far greater purpose than that. Sent on quests and adventures by the Wise White Dolphin, he faces turmoil beyond his imagination and discovers that there are many dark and evil forces standing in his way. Will Andee succeed? Can he fight off the evil that lurks in the depths of the oceans, and save all marine life? And will he ever get home to find his parents? This fast action story will appeal to children ages eight through sixteen as it takes them through Andee's transformation and adventures with the dolphins and other creatures of the sea. The twenty-four colorful and exciting illustrations by professional artist Zoran Zlaticanin bring the story to life and keep even the youngest readers immersed in the story.

Holy crab-claws! The fast-action 'Andee the Aquanaut series' continues in Book Two, 'All Great Things Start With Small Beginnings'. Andee is torn between finding his parents, fulfilling his role as protector of the ocean's creatures, saving the Lost City and rescuing the King's beautiful daughter, Yolanda. Two new companions arrive to aid Andee in his epic quest. The author supports cetaceans in distress by donating a percentage of profits from sales of the Andee the Aquanaut series to marine-life organizations worldwide.

Andee is held captive deep in a cave in a marine canyon. Covered in barnacles and tortured by Zadora's evil goblin sharks as he hangs from the walls, Andee even forgets his own name. Andee's only hope is a little rockfish that tries to raise his spirits and keep his mind alive.
