Book Description
Seventeen-year-old PC can't resist his uncle Cliff's frantic call and is soon aboard a plane to Australia. Within hours of arriving, PC realizes that his uncle has gotten himself into an even more bizarre predicament than usual, and that Cliff is counting on him to unravel the threads of a mystery linking: a missing scuba diver, presumed dead; Maruul, a beautiful Aboriginal girl suffering from amnesia; a strange map based on a legend of a sacred treasure; an erie, seemly deserted ship; and a huge, horrible creature that lurks in the depths beneath the reef.
Trying to help the shaken young girl, PC and Cliff return to the reef where Maruul's brother vanished and take up the search for the Aboriginal treasure that will save the people of Maruul's tribe. But someone else is looking for the treasure too -- and when the two groups collide, a lethal game of hide-and-seek is played out beneath the deep and bloody water of the reef. |

Some say that the reason teens are so addicted to horror stories is because disgusting monsters, ghouls, and tentacled amphibians psychologically and creatively personify a teen's innermost angst. Proving that there is more than a grain of truth to the theory, crowned king of teenage angst Paul Zindel plunges into the world of horror with style in Reef of Death, his third fast-paced, thrilling tale of smart teens battling the slime of the earth. Even the most reluctant readers will find themselves furiously turning pages to find out what happens to P.C. McPhee when he hops a plane to Australia to help his crazy uncle solve an offshore mystery. A tidal wave of adventure and a cast of villains--including the biggest, nastiest, man-eating fish on earth--await him Down Under. Teens who love being scared out of their wits won't want to miss Zindel's other two horrifying tales: Loch and The Doom Stone, both chosen as Recommended Books for Reluctant Young Adult Readers by the American Library Association. |

Reef of Death
The Book starts out in Austrilaia in present time .I thought this book was not the best I ever read but one of the best books. I would recommend this book because it has alot of action and mystery. Right in the very beginning of the book there is an attack on a scuba diver and they keep happening through the book. The characters of the book are PC (Peter Collins McPhee) Cliff , Helen (the grandmother), and Maruul. PC , Maruul, and Cliff wanted to stop the fish creature from killing more people so they set out but will they be able to stop this thing before it kills them too?, find out more of the details by reading this book.

This book was exceptional and very difficult to put down. There is constant surprises and you never know what is going to happen next. Defiantly worth reading.

SEA MONSTERS ON THE LOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paul Zindel's next book has giant sea monsters and stuff like that in this exciting book. PC's uncle Cliff invites him on a treasure hunt in Australia in The Great Barrier Reef. A girl named Maruul is also joining the hunt. Unfortunately, the treasure is guarded by a giant man eating fish {like always}. Pc, Cliff, and Maruul become invloved in a game of cat-and-mouse where winner takes all. The torture chamber scenes were also cool but the conclusion was the best. With the underawter submarine chase and the ginat robot. This is one of Zindel's best books.
