Blanchette, Carol
Owen
who lives in Colorado
is visiting his cousin Neko at her home in coastal California. He is eager to explore the beach with his cousin and aunt
and they find a large amount of kelp washed ashore after a large storm the previous evening. His curiosity about the kelp leads to an afternoon snorkeling adventure in a kelp forest with his cousin and aunt
and they point out the many creatures that inhabit the underwater golden forest.--
