Aqua Boy
Island boy Aaron loves the sea. But he’s a bit scared of going under the water.
Then one day Aaron finds an octopus stranded on the beach. And as he helps Dad return it to the water, something amazing happens… a moment of magic between the boy and the octopus.
Can Aaron lose his fear and go underwater? Maybe now he can help look after the sea creatures and be… Aqua Boy!
