Reef+of+Death

Max Chung 8th Grade Summer Reading

A great book I read this summer was __Reef of Death__ by Paul Zindel. This book is about a tribe's lost secret treasure that everyone is trying to get their hands on. P.C is on summer break living in San Francisco playing video games when he gets a call from his uncle. His uncle says there is a sacred treasure in the waters of Australia and he needs P.C's help finding it, along with a young aboriginal girl, Maruul. He promises fame and fortune if P.C helps him find hen P.C gets down to Australia, he helps his uncle and Maruul find the treasure. After a while of searching underwater, they hear this buzzing noise. EEEEEEEEEEEE They all look around confused, when suddenly they see a huge sea monster. They start to swim frantically toward the shore. P.C and Marull make it, but P.C's uncle gets eaten by the monster. Meanwhile, in the distance an old ocean freighter is making a loud noise. Maruul and P.C need to find the treasure by themselves now, and avoid the monster at all costs. Little do they know, someone else is after the treasure also. P.C, is the main character of the book. He is smart, brave, and loves to play video games (That’s why his nickname is P.C). P.C’s worst fear is getting eaten alive. Maruul, a young aboriginal girl, helps P.C throughout the book. She is smart and strong. Wally, one of Maruul’s relatives, also helps P.C throughout the book. He is strong, and very tough. I would persuade someone to read this book because it is full with thrills.I liked how the author had thrills in almost every chapter. You would expect nothing thrilling would happen, and then someone would be killed. At the end, P.C realizes that your family is more important than anything. I loved this book and I encourage others to read it.
