What is Gilbert in deep about?

Gilbert the great white shark and his friend Rita the remora are bored with their usual game of hide-and-seek. Ignoring Gilbert’s mother’s warning, they swim beyond the reef and into the dark, mysterious Deep. What begins as an exciting adventure soon becomes frightening as they meet strange creatures, ghostly shapes and hidden dangers. Gilbert insists that great white sharks are never afraid, but the deeper they go, the more he must face his fears and discover that bravery does not mean feeling fearless.
