Simon Thorn and his friends are off again on an adventure to save the animalgam world.  A world where certain people, living among us, have the ability to change into an animal form.  Orion, Simon's grandfather and leader of the bird kingdom, is seeking out another piece of the predator, a weapon that would enslave the animalgam kingdoms under Orion's rule. This time Simon and his cohorts are headed to the underwater kingdom. Needless to say, once again Simon must bend the rules, solve the puzzle, and save the day.  

This is fast becoming one of my favorite series and one I recommend to any Harry Potter fans. Simon and his friends are such imaginative and likable characters and the books are full of humor and adventure.  I love that with each story you are learning about the different habitats and traits of the various animal kingdoms. This third installment doesn't disappoint and I can't wait to for the next one.
