You could be so pretty

Alex Neptune a déjà du mal à s'habituer à ses nouveaux pouvoirs océaniques... et voilà que des pirates attaquent Haven Bay à bord d'un navire fait de déchets ! Ils sont à la recherche de l'œuf disparu du mystérieux dragon aquatique, mais Alex est bien décidé à les devancer et les empêcher de subtiliser ses pouvoirs.

Avec ses amis Zoey et Anil (ainsi qu'un phoque maladroit, un bernard-l'hermite serrurier et des loutres particulièrement redoutables), Alex part pour une chasse au trésor qui les mènera à une épave secrète et à trois épreuves monstrueuses.

Alex Neptune is the boy with the power of the ocean in his hands...

But he's kind of struggling with this whole hero thing. So the last thing he needs is Haven Bay being attacked by pirates hunting for a missing Water-Dragon egg - but he's totally determined to find it first to stop them stealing its power.

Along with friends Zoey and Anil - plus a clumsy seal, a lock-picking hermit crab and some seriously menacing otters - Alex sets out on a treasure hunt to a secret shipwreck, where they must use all their skills to beat three monstrous challenges...
