The curious one
Picochacho
A young shark with black glasses, glowing golden markings, and a knack for finding trouble. When his friends need him, Pico discovers that courage means showing up—even when he’s afraid.
Welcome to Coral Bay
Meet Picochacho. Curious, adventurous, and just a little too drawn to places he shouldn’t explore.
Beyond the Barrier, something is stirring. And Pico’s greatest discovery may be who he really is.

The first adventure
Book 1 · Coming soon
Every city has its secrets.
Coral Bay’s run deeper than most.
Inside a shimmering Barrier, life in Coral Bay is full of colorful markets, friendly faces, and the excitement of the annual Current Race.
For Pico and his best friend, Churro, it should be the adventure of a lifetime. But strange golden markings, an ancient Pearl, and danger beyond the city’s walls begin to change everything.
A fantasy adventure about the courage to face the unknown—and the friends who make that courage possible.
There were three places in Coral Bay that Picochacho was absolutely forbidden to explore.
Naturally, he had already explored two of them.
The first was the wreck of the Silverfin, an ancient ship resting among the coral near the western edge of the Barrier.
The second was the tunnel beneath the school.
And the third—
Picochacho stared up at the enormous wall of glowing blue water in front of him.
—was the Barrier.
A preview from Chapter 1. The story is still being polished.
