Ziggy and the Plugfish

A terrible thing happened to Ziggy Plunkett. His parents were swallowed alive by a giant blue jellyfish. Ziggy runs for help, but even Shayla's dad with his hotted-up ute and his explosives can't get them out. Nor can Admiral Crushmore with his breakdancing mini-submarine. In fact, no one can get them out. Mrs Plunkett can't do a thing with her hair. And Mr Plunkett's croissants are going stale. And now they're headed for a hole at the bottom of the ocean that goes right down to the centre of the earth. A Jonathan Harlen special, full of twists and turns and laugh-out-loud humour And lots and lots of jelly.
