About this ebook

"Please," she begged. Karina didn't know what she begged for, maybe for the flare to do its work or, maybe, for the pain to stop. She never saw which way the flare headed. A coughing fit that ended with a strong taste of blood in her mouth delivered her back into the comforting realm of darkness, back to where problems ceased to exit, and back to where pain could not find her.

Fifteen-year-old Karina expects hardships and surprises during her five-month school term at sea aboard the Star Fin, a research vessel designed to turn troubled adolescents into responsible adults. Classes in marine biology and advanced scuba diving help her gain confidence and self-control; but nothing prepares her for encounters with moray eels, a dangerous Portuguese man-of-war, deadly sea snakes, and man-eating sharks. When blood-frenzied sharks viciously attack a family of capsized kayakers, Karina's skills and courage are put to the ultimate test.

Her skills are tested even further when Karina and her peers attempt to explore a shipwreck deep in the ocean. After the group is sabotaged and stranded by a fellow classmate, everything that can go wrong, does. Are Karina and her friends strong enough to survive the elements, a sinking ship, and decompression sickness?

Terry Umphenour

Terry Umphenour is an international educator who teaches math, science, and leadership courses to middle school students in the Concordia International School system. His leadership courses train students to use survival techniques in harsh environments to develop better communication, teamwork, and decision-making skills. He supervises a marine research program that prepares students to be active global citizens by learning to scuba dive and collect data on the health of ocean reefs. Students share that data with Reef Check scientists who monitor the oceans' health. His goal for the Karina adventure series is to excite young adults to the wonders of science and the importance of making responsible decisions with regards to the health of the Earth's biomes and the communities they serve.
