Summary

Magically transforming into different apex predators will be really fun and not stressful, right? Max is having the strangest day. Life is already not normal after his parents decided to sell everything they own and go traveling as a family. What was supposed to be a fun scuba diving day turns into a disaster when a great white shark attacks his boat! Max needs to think fast to survive this. One mysterious shipwreck, two suspicious divers, and a teenager with a magic amulet later, and this is shaping up to be a crazy adventure. And-oh yeah-Max also turned into a shark. Could this day get any weirder? Maddy Mara is the pen name of Australian creative duo Hilary Rogers and Meredith Badger.
