Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Danger at 20 Fathoms
Ed Hanson · 2003
60/100
👎 Skip It
Coming from BJU Press, this underwater-danger entry in the Barclay Family Adventure Series carries a strong family-safe editorial pedigree and mixes real history/science/geography into its mystery-adventure plot. I just couldn't confirm the specific story beats for this individual book, so I'm going on the series' track record more than this title's particulars.
