In Wiesner's latest wordless book, a boy at the beach closely examines items washed up from the sea; when a wave brings forth an old camera, the boy's viewing takes a radical shift. He gets the film developed, allowing Wiesner's imagination great play. The meticulous and rich detail of the clue- and fancy-strewn watercolors makes this fantasy involving and convincing.
