A mysterious tsunami. A poisoned dragon. An underwater race against time. When a devastating wave strikes the southern coast of the Kingdom of Orqueh, ten-year-old royal twins Prince Peter and Princess Ramele discover it wasn't a natural disaster, but a cry of grief. Deep beneath the ocean, Ryoya, a young Sea Dragon, has been gravely poisoned by toxic waste dumped into the River Elliot. His mother’s rage and sorrow have shaken the very seas, threatening the safety of every ship and shore. Equipped with magical pearls that allow them to breathe underwater, the twins dive into a hidden world of bioluminescent caves and ancient volcanoes. To save Ryoya, they must join forces with their wizard mentor Mervyn, Clarissa the Mermaid, Pipia the Forest Fairy, and the legendary Chef Mas Grande. Their only hope lies in a perilous ancient recipe that requires impossible ingredients: a dolphin’s song, a snippet of a rain cloud, and a drop of hot lava. From the bustling fishing docks to the depths of Mount Olivia, Peter and Ramele must track down the polluters and engineer a cure. In an adventure where science meets magic, the twins learn that even the smallest actions can turn the tide. Ideal for readers ages 8–12, this second volume in The Adventures of Princess Ramele and Prince Peter series blends immersive world-building with themes well-suited for classroom discussion and independent reading. Leung continues the Adventures of Princess Ramele and Prince Peter series in this enchanting second adventure, which finds the heroes embarking on an underwater quest with wizards, knights, fairies, and merpeople. Leung writes imaginative, playful fantasy that emphasizes clever character and even some educational elements—readers will pick up knowledge about volcanoes and ocean life. As the young royals plunge into an aquatic world of supernatural creatures, Leung employs a fluctuating timeline to explore the perspectives of all the main players, building tension and mystery as everyone tries to piece together what is causing the volatile disturbance in the sea. The world building and character development is magical, and young readers will enjoy how each character has a unique strength that pushes the plot forward in imaginative ways.
