Show summary
The marine world takes to the skies...
No mask, no snorkel—dive into a giant aquarium right in the heart of your city!
A tiny Pearl escapes from its shell and embarks on an adventure through the underwater world. Along the way, she encounters playful companions—colorful fish, seahorses, mischievous squids, and mesmerizing jellyfish. But danger lurks nearby: a ferocious Moray Eel with only one thing in mind—swallowing her whole!
What will become of our little adventurer? Will she manage to return to the safety of her shell without losing too much of her precious nacre?
