Shelly the Surfing Detective was famous along every coastline for her daring tricks and quick thinking. But her greatest adventure began one bright morning when the tides pulled her board toward a mysterious whirlpool. She plunged beneath the surface and discovered a hidden city of coral towers and sparkling shells, home to creatures she’d only seen in storybooks. Just as she was making friends with a shy octopus named Otto, an alarm echoed through the city: the royal pearl had vanished! Shelly offered her detective skills. Following a trail of glitter, she rode currents through shipwrecks and seaweed forests. Each new friend she met—Otto, Luna the sea turtle, and Bubbles the dolphin—helped her solve tricky clues. The final riddle led Shelly into the darkest trench, where she found a lonely crab who had taken the pearl, hoping its light would keep him company. Instead of scolding him, Shelly invited the crab to join the city’s party, promising there would always be friends nearby. With the pearl restored, the ocean city glowed brighter than ever, and Shelly surfed back to the surface with new friends and a heart full of wonder, ready for her next big mystery.
