A missing shell. A misunderstood hogfish. One reef chase they’ll never forget!
When Coral, Sandy, and Kai set out to find Sandra’s lost snail shell, they don’t expect their search to lead them straight into trouble—or to a hogfish with his snout buried deep in the sand. Hugh the hogfish loves digging and finding shells, but when the Fairy Mermaids® turn him away, they soon discover they may have made a dangerous mistake.
As the reef darkens and a silent barracuda strikes, the friends must race through coral tunnels, dodge snapping jaws, and learn to trust an unlikely ally. Can Hugh’s digging skills and natural camouflage save them all before it’s too late?
Filled with fast-paced underwater action and real ocean science, The Hogfish Hustle is a thrilling fairy mermaid adventure about teamwork, second chances, and seeing the value in others.
