Lighthouse-dwelling cat Bella's dozy new feline friend, Claude, accidentally floats out to sea on a raft. Bella's valiant rescue mission lands her stranded on the raft, too, until a passing dolphin offers to tow them back to land. Serviceable digital illustrations create an idyllic seaside setting and set a friendly tone for this bland adventure, a follow-up to Bella Lost and Found.

Indoor cat Bella accidentally winds up in a cat-sized boat and has adventures at sea. She meets a whale and a giant octopus named Arthur, and finally finds her way back to her lighthouse home and her little-boy owner. Friendly mixed-media illustrations show the expressive, roly-poly heroine and the animals she meets on her surreal but sweet seafaring adventure.
