Shares true stories of cave divers, extreme photographers, and researchers as they brave undersea adventures with sharks.

"Known for her extraordinary and record-breaking trip around the world and her undercover investigation of a mental institution, Nellie Bly was one of the first female investigative reporters in the United States and a pioneer in the field of journalism"--

"Moving to New Jersey from Philadelphia was stressful, but at least Jada has found Ms. Marianne's Academy of Dance, where she can continue to dance ballet--but she is not sure that the other girls at the Academy welcome her, and when she sprains her ankle in practice she is sure that the whole universe is against her." --

Both sixteen-year-old Chloe Montgomery and her long time rival, Nina, have made it through the first round of the California Teen Design Diva audition--but more rounds lie ahead and each round promises to be more challenging than the one before.

Having made it all the way through the Teen Design Diva auditions, sixteen-year-old Chloe Montgomery and her long-time rival, Nina, have arrived in New York where the rest of the competition will be filmed--and the contestants will face seven challenges, and the first takes them to the Central Park Zoo.

After winning the first season of Teen Design Diva, Chloe Montgomery is excited to be back in New York, staying at the Fashion Institute, making new friends, and embarking on her internship with the famous fashion designer, Stefan Meyers.

After a few successful weeks of her internship with the famous fashion designer, Stefan Meyers, Chloe is asked to split her time between different departments--but her mentor in the new department is a very different person, and trying to please two masters at once is turning out to be more than a little stressful.

After years of ballet Jada feels she is ready to go "on pointe," but the whole process is a lot more complicated then she ever realized: from being measured and fitted for the shoes, to tying the laces correctly she still has a lot to learn, and that is before she actually tries to walk in pointe shoes, which seems to uses muscles she was barely aware of--for the first time Jada finds that ballet hurts.

Gabby is taking the new contemporary dance class at Ms. Marianne's Academy of Dance, and she quickly bonds with Sophie, who has transferred into the Academy--but her best friends seem strangely reluctant to include Sophie in their after class fun, and soon Gabby feels torn between her new friend and her old ones whose attitude she does not understand.

Chloe and her mother take a trip to Los Angeles, where Chloe is combining a guest appearance on the new season of Teen Design Diva, with a tour of the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, which is one of the colleges that she is considering, aware that her mother would like her to stay closer to Santa Cruz.
