But while exploring the area, Digger and his crew encounter a lot more sharks than they expected. Reef and his shark shifter clan are charged with protecting a vital, magical secret-two of four scrolls that, when brought together, could annihilate shifters across the world. But Reef can't keep his head in the game around this intriguing diver, and it's not long before Digger takes one of the scrolls topside.

Download or read book Fairy Tales from Hans Christian Andersen Illustrated by Thomas Charles and W Heath Robinson written by Hans Christian Andersen and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairy Tales from Hans Christian Andersen contains a collection of 38 classic fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen illustrated by the Robinson Brothers, Thomas, William Heath and Charles. Hans Christian Andersen (1805 – 1875) was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen’s popularity is not limited to children; his stories, called eventyr in Danish or “fairy-tales” in English, express themes that transcend age and nationality. Andersen’s fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West’s collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. Some of his most famous fairy tales include “The Emperor’s New Clothes”, “The Little Mermaid”, “The Nightingale”, “The Snow Queen”, “The Ugly Duckling”, and many more.
