These are but a few of Albert's unusual encounters. During his travels, Albert, who has a knack for collecting unusual friends, rescues a fisherman from his sinking boat during a storm, evades pirates, gets shot at, blows up a WWII sea mine, goes hiking with a movie star, and repairs a water pump for a family living in the Sahara desert in his recently upgraded one-person submarine. In this truly enjoyable tale of bravery, friendship, and exploration, 15-year-old Albert travels by submarine across the Atlantic and around the Mediterranean Sea in search of the lost city of Atlantis. Philip Roy presents another exciting adventure story in Journey to Atlantis, the second book in his 'Submarine Outlaw' series. The figure was holding a knife in his hand. Just then, a slim brown body went over my head, straight towards the shark! The shark veered again and vanished. The shark came towards me again so quickly I saw its whole body shake with exertion. It was fast! I had to return to the surface for air but was afraid to move. The shark swam around in a circle then came back. It all happened so quickly I never had time to think. Its mouth was open and I saw rows of jagged teeth.

and froze! No more than fifteen feet away was a large shark! It came straight towards me then veered off at the last second.

I decided to return to the sub for a knife. It felt the same, but was attached to the rock and wouldn't come off with a strong tug. I was having such a good time in fact that I just kind of assumed I was alone in the water.Īt the bottom I discovered sponges attached to rocks, just like the sponges Sheba kept in her bathroom back in Newfoundland, except maybe a little rougher. It was easier to dive more deeply and hold my breath longer in warmer water, and this made diving more fun.
