Buoy lives "very far from land where people think it is lonely," but he loves his life at sea. With his friends Gull and Seal, Buoy guides ships, provides a refuge for ocean animals, and observes the many moods of the sea in sixteen brief, episodic chapters. Buoy's offbeat character and the text's reflective prose may limit the title's audience despite the handsome illustrations and design.
