Danny Dunn on the Ocean Floor is an exciting science fiction adventure book. It is the fifth story in the popular Danny Dunn series. This book was written by Raymond Abrashkin and Jay Williams. It was first published in 1960, taking readers on a thrilling journey deep under the sea.

The Exciting Story

The adventure begins when Danny causes another accident in Professor Bulfinch's lab. But this accident turns out to be a good thing! It leads to the creation of a super strong, see-through material.

This amazing new material is perfect for building a special underwater vehicle. They use it to create a bathysphere, which is like a small submarine for exploring the deep ocean.

Professor Bulfinch, his friend Dr. Grimes, Danny, Joe, and Irene all climb aboard. They start an experimental trip into the Pacific Ocean. Their goal is to explore the mysterious world of the deep sea.

However, things quickly go wrong during their journey. The bathysphere's pilot becomes unconscious. This leaves the crew in a tricky situation, trapped deep inside an underwater cave.

As they try to find a way out, they face dangers of the deep. A giant squid examines their submarine with its huge eyes. Later, a very large shark attacks their vessel. The crew must use their wits to survive these underwater challenges and escape the cave.
