Danger on the Reef

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with sibling rivalry or a know-it-all attitude that compromises their safety. This high interest chapter book follows twelve-year-old Jasmine and her younger brother Arjun as they navigate the reefs of Fiji. While Jasmine respects the rules of scuba diving, Arjun's overconfidence leads to a dangerous encounter with a reef shark. It is an excellent choice for children ages 8 to 12 who need to see the real-world consequences of ignoring expert advice and the importance of teamwork in high stakes situations. Parents will appreciate how it models a healthy sibling dynamic where the older child must balance frustration with responsibility, ultimately teaching that true bravery involves respecting boundaries and looking out for one another.
