 Ocean - Environmental pollution
 Martin’s father and older brother, both fishers, fail to return one day from their fishing. During his search
 for them, Martin finds himself near a steel factory, an enormous facility that is poisoning the ocean and
 holding Martin’s father and brother, among others, captive to work. With the help of magical powers
 Martin is able to destroy the factory’s computer-run
 control system and free the prisoners. This novel is one of the few attempts to sensitize children to
 environmental problems by means of a suspenseful, fantastic plot. (12+)
