Description
This poignant middle grade contemporary novel tells the story of Peter's last summer before middle school. He and his best friend Tommy aim to finish their Discovery Journal, cataloging the wildlife in their Florida town.
When they spot a manatee in a canal, Peter knows they've found something special - but when it's injured by a boat, he must take action to protect it. As Peter joins the fight to save Florida manatees, he also faces personal challenges, including caring for his ailing grandfather and navigating an unexpected change in his friendship with Tommy.
As Peter navigates these shifting tides, he discovers that he has as much to learn about himself as he does about the world around him. A heartwarming and thought-provoking story of family, friendship, and growing up.
