In this riveting survival tale, Lolly's sailboat turns turtle in a Florida bay. As she's about to yield to the waves, a manatee appears. The text's revelation early on that Lolly makes it to safety allows readers to live with her, moment by moment, and focus more intently on the concepts she ponders: fate, enlightenment, and our relationship with animals.
