When Indie's rare golden lobster disappears, she enlists the help of oddball new kid Owen. Her desperate-to-fit-in older sister, however, does not want her to be friends with weirdos and lobsters. The girls' relationship, realistic and poignant, adds depth to the story while providing insight into Indie's frantic search. Moulton's sensitivity to her characters' emotions extends the tale's mood and setting.
