Samantha is a geek. Looks like one, acts like one and certainly treated like one. Living in a far too stereotypical world once every year a 'geek' goes through a taunting process called 'The Geek Game' where the geekiest nerdiest most snobbiest geek is chosen to go under an exeptional treatment of a make-over, and a whole new lifestyle. Not many people have come out on top, and Samantha is certainly the most anxious person when it comes to the ceremony of choosing who will go through the challenging Geek Game. (Warning, stereotypes) Let the games begin!

Cara’s mother has disappeared. Her father isn’t talking about it. Her big brother Max is hiding behind his iPod, and her genius little brother Jackson is busy studying the creatures he collects from the beach. But when a watery specter begins to haunt the family’s Cape Cod home, Cara and her brothers realize that their scientist mother may not be who they thought she was—and that the world has much stranger, much older inhabitants than they had imagined. With help from Cara’s best friend Hayley, the three embark on a quest that will lead them from the Cape’s hidden, ancient places to a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea.
