Andrew Dubble

Andrew is ten years old, but hes been inventing things since he was four. Some of his inventions have gotten him into trouble, like the time he shrunk himself, his cousin Judy, and his little silver robot Thudd smaller than the foot of a flea with the Atom Sucker.

Andrew is in hot water again. He fooled around with his Uncle Als underwater vehicle, the Water Bug. Now Andrew, Judy, and Thudd are about to meet some of the most dangerous creatures on earth!

Judy Dubble

Judy is Andrews thirteen-year-old cousin. She thought she was too smart to let Andrew drag her into another crazy adventure. But that was before he showed her the Water Bug. Now shes busy trying to save giant squids!

Thudd

The Handy Ultra-Digital Detective. Thudd is a super-smart robot and Andrews best friend. This hasnt been an easy trip for Thudd. Hes a little worried about whats next!

Uncle Al

Andrew and Judys uncle is a top-secret scientist. He invented Thudd and the Water Bug. Uncle Al is worried about Andrew, Judy, and Thudd. Hes finishing up a new underwater vehicle called the See Horse so that he can rescue them!

The Water Bug

It used to be an old Volkswagen Beetle until Uncle Al turned it into a submarine. Now it has a glass floor, a sharky fin on its roof, and a bathroom in the backseat. Andrew, Judy, and Thudd are pretty safe when theyre inside it. Too bad its trapped on the ocean floor!

Soggy Bob Sloggins

This bad guy of the sea is building Animal Universe, the biggest theme park in the world. But Soggy Bob doesnt care about the animals. He hung a sign above the aquarium in Squid World. It says SOGGY BOBS GIANT SQUIDWICHESCOMING SOON!

Now Soggy Bob is after Andrew, Judy, and Thudd, too. Will they be able to stop Soggy Bob from turning giant squids into giant snacks? Or will Soggy Bob get them into the biggest Dubble trouble ever?

Now I know what it feels like to be a fish! thought Andrew Dubble.

That was because Andrews underwater vehicle, the Water Bug, was tangled in a huge net at the bottom of the ocean.

On the other side of the net were craggy mountains of coral and fish that looked like slices of a rainbow.

Cheese Louise! said Andrews thirteen-year-old cousin, Judy. She was sitting next to Andrew in the passenger seat. Maybe Soggy Bob set a trap to keep us from getting to the giant squids first!

Soggy Bob Sloggins wanted to capture a giant squid and turn it into giant squidwiches. Andrew and Judy were trying to stop him.

Maybe the Water Bug can rip through the net, said Andrew. He pushed the gas pedal to the floor. VROOOOOOOM!

The Water Bug used to be a Volkswagen Beetle. It had a glass floor, a sharky fin on its roof, and a bathroom in the backseat!

The Water Bug whammed into the net, bounced off, and thumped into the ocean floor. Now the Water Bugs paddle wheels were caught in the net!

A herd of tiny yellow box-shaped fish fluttered up to the windshield. Their big blue eyes peered in curiously at Andrew and Judy.

meep Try Octo-Tool, came a squeaky voice. It was Andrews little silver robot and best friend, Thudd. He was sitting in a pocket of Andrews underwater suit.

Good idea, Thudd, said Andrew.

He pressed a black button on the dashboard.

Untangle Water Bug, said Andrew into a microphone near the steering wheel.

glurp Will try, came the voice of the Water Bug.

The hood of the Water Bug popped open and the gray tentacles of the Octo-Tool slithered out. They snatched at the net and tugged.

But the Water Bug wasnt coming free. Instead, the Octo-Tools tentacles got tangled in the net, too!

glurp Alert! Alert! said the Water Bug. Octo-Tool trouble. Tentacles trapped!

Uh-oh, said Andrew. Looks like well have to get out and do it ourselves.

Judy groaned. Cheese Louise! The last time we left the Water Bug, we got swallowed by a whale!

Andrew wasnt listening to her. While were out there, he said, we can get the lava boogers out of the Super-Sniffer.

On the hood of the Water Bug was a nose-like invention called the Super-Sniffer. It tracked things in the water the way a dog tracks things on land, by smell. Andrew and Judy needed the Super-Sniffer to find the giant squids. They had to get to them before Soggy Bob!

But the Super-Sniffer was clogged up with lava boogers from an underwater volcano.

Look! said Andrew. He pointed to a part of the net ahead of them. It was squirming. Something else is caught in the net.
