Product Description:
Billy and his sister, Sheena, are visiting their uncle Dr. Deep on a tiny Caribbean island. It's the perfect place to go exploring underwater...and Billy's ready for an adventure. There's only one rule to remember: Stay away from the coral reefs. Still, the reefs are so beautiful. So peaceful. Billy can't resist. But he's not alone in the water. Something's lurking deep below the surface. Something that's dark and scaly. Something that's half-human, half f-fish...

This book is one of my student's favorites. Check out her review below:
BE FRIGHTENED IN GOOSEBUMPS
This book is about 12 year old Billy and 10 year old Sheena and how they get into real monster like trouble. If you dare to get in monsterous trouble join Bill, Sheena, Dr. D, and most importantly the master of fright. This book called Goosebumps Deep Trouble is for people who don't get nightmares after they read scary books.
One reason this book is scary and unearthly is because Billy sees sea monster. But one sea monster saved him from the other. I think this is scayr and supernatural because one sea monster saved him from a hammerhead shark! Also why would a sea monster try to kill one of their kings?
Another reason this book is scary and unearthly is because when Billy went back into the water he was almost eaten by a hammerhead shark. But luckily a mermaid came to save him. So she stood between the hammerhead sharka dn Billy and all of a sudden the shark swam away. I think this is a downright scary because where in the world did that mermaid come from?!!
My final reason this book is scary and unearthly is because on the front cover, the picture of the skeleton head almost scared me. If you had the book I had righ tnow you would know what I meant. The pictures on the cover pop out! If you felt the hammerhead shark teeth you will feel a little scared.
This is why Goosebumps Deep Trouble is a good book for people who don't have nightmares after they read scary books. You heard me!, if you're that person get up! If you have to look everywhere for that book then do! There's not much copies left!

These audio books help children that are having trouble with the written word. I also use them in the car, so each trip we hear more of the story. The kids love them and I think it makes them interested in reading.

I read this book more than a decade ago, and much of the events are not fresh on my mind. However, I do remember coming away from this book with a brighter outlook on adventure in the sea. The story, while having a hammerhead shark on the cover and being a Goosebumps installment, is not designed so much as a horror or thriller, but as a cautionary tale about our duty to protect the world around us.
Deep Trouble, while not great literature, is probably as close as you're going to get with Stine or Goosebumps, and honestly, I'm still impressed with this delightfully intelligent turn by the famed children's author. I remember sitting in the library and reading this book from cover to cover in one sitting. It's not a horror story, but of all the Goosebumps books out there, it's probably the one WORTH reading.

I was an avid reader of the Goosebumps series when I was younger, so much so that I read every single title in the series, even though by the time the last one was published, I was old enough to know they really weren't very good, particularly toward the end. Deep Trouble was my favorite, though I can understand why others my not have liked it. There was nothing even remotely scary about it, and in spite of the cover, I don't remember any shark playing a major role (I think there was a brief shark scare at the beginning, in one of those irrelevant sequences Stine often used to keep the book moving). The plot was that the main character's uncle, a marine biologist or something, was part of the crew on a ship that captured a meraid and was planning to sell it into captivity, or to scientists who wanted to perform unethical experiments on it, or something that would at any rate make the mermaid very unhappy. One of the main guys turns out to be a traitor who tries to kill the main characters, but in the end everything works out fine and the mermaid is released back to the wild, etc. etc.
What impressed me about this book was the relationship between Billy (aforementioned main character) and the mermaid, which I don't remember speaking. Perhaps because the opporunities for scares don't present themselves as often in this kind of plot as they might in, say, Night of the Living Dummy, Stine (not the most subtle of writers) turned it into a much more introspective novel than one would normally expect in this series. The main conflict is actually an internal one, as Billy debates whether to free the mermaid and clear his conscience, or obey the adults, who, to a twelve-year-old, are usually morally infallible. Stine also manages to garner the appropriate amount of sympathy for the mermaid. Maybe it's not as thrilling as a typical Goosebumps entry, but it's very touching and understated, which is a rarity from this author.

Have you ever been in a lagoon? The book I read was "Deep Trouble". The book is about a boy name Billy and his sister name Sheena. They go stay with their uncle, William Deep. They lived in a place called the Cassandra. When they were going to leave, Billy went swimming in the lagoon and he got bit in the ankle by a hammer shark. When they were going to leave for sure a big boat came with two people inside they said they have spotted a mermaid around here. They told William Deep if he caught the mermaid that they will give him one million dollars. Billy caught the mermaid and keeps it and started to do tests on it. Alexander a assistant of them and four other men stole the mermaid and started to drown Billy and Sheena and Billy's uncle were trap in a big tank. They get free by other mermaids that came then they found the mermaid and they let it go. When the zoo people came they told them that there was no mermaid it was just an illusion.
