The Shark Who Wanted a Shiny

Jack is a boy who loves the sea and everything in it, but when his fishy friends suddenly go missing, will Jack be the hero they need? Can Jack become the Coastie and keep everyone safe?




"Jack" Horner's real-life adventures from over 22 years in the U. S. Coast Guard inspired this safety series. Jack modified the lessons he learned to make the wonders and dangers that lurk in the big, wide, world-both above and below the ocean-safer for children.




BMG SAFE is home to the Jack the Coastie series. Their safety and security lessons-and heart-are as wide as the sea.
