We have rated this book Preteen + (COELACANTH, TRAPS, TRIPS, FRIENDSHIP, ANGEL FISH, DANGER) Since long ago, back when Morocco and New Jersey were neighbors, for nearly four hundred million years, the coelacanths have lived in the ocean depths. They are living fossils, humble and powerful. They have hunted, borne young, and prayed to the spirit-fish. But for the canth called Maputa all that is about to change. SeaTopia is an aquarium run by the man-tide. The Director, Dave, is an empathic man, hiring the ocean whiz-kid Kemar and the neglected teen Samantha. Dave tries to help both humans and fish, but no measure of kindness can turn a prison into the sea. Norton the stargazer. Cariam the octopus. The shrimp Shareef. Gilgongo, Naillij, Janee. Niv, Nhoj, and Pagre the angelfish filled with divinity -- a host of creatures clash and unite, struggle and discover. From the first indelible moments of Out There, Somewhere, to the stunning climax, it's clear why author John Morano is at the top of his genre. Let the power of faith never be under-estimated.
