Summary:
Alexis, a 12-year-old native Hawaiian, is terrified of the ocean and its creatures because of an encounter she had early in her life with a moray eel. Her mother, a contractor for the Navy, likes to give Alexis elaborate puzzles to solve when she's away on assignments. One puzzle gets her working for her grumpy neighbor, Uncle Tanaka, helping him gather marine samples. She has to use her problem-solving skills, Uncle's help and overcome her fear of the ocean when her mom is suddenly in distress.
