    Marena Montoya, an eleven year old is volunteered by her science teacher to be the aquarium's junior newsletter reporter. Leaving the deadline for her first article to the last minute, Mrs Diaz from the aquarium asks Marena to rewrite it using more factual information. Visibly upset, Marena stumbles into a room where she meets Rory and Anna, who explain how important factual information is. Marena discovers interesting information about a real-life research ship the OceanXplorer, the Great Barrier Reef, coral cays and flashlight fish. The aquarium is also plagued with continuous power outages which only occur at night, and no one knows what is causing it. Marena has a theory that it could be a ghost or is this just her imagination? A fictional story with some factual information on marine life.
