When he loses his fish trap on the bottom of the bay, Ben fears what forms of ocean life may lurk beneath his rowboat--until Sophie introduces her reluctant friend to the hidden splendor of what he's been missing: Giant Kelp, a myriad of fish, and the colossal surprise of coming eye-to-eye with a whale!
