Review
"Imbued with a message of environmental and humanitarian activism, this story encourages readers to think for themselves even when the entire world seems to be traveling a different path. As climate change and human behavior adversely affect the world's oceans, it is through stories like this that young readers can become inspired to make a difference in their own communities."
