A truly amazing and believable story of survival featuring a 14 year old girl and three sea mammals called manatees that Christopher Columbus's men thought were mermaids.
Lolly loves to go sailing but one night she has an accident in the Gulf of Florida and goes missing for three days. When she is rescued by helicopter she is found in the company of three manatees. This is the story of Lolly's ordeal and rescue and the debt she owes to the manatees.
If you like animal stories you will love this one and even if you don't, you will learn something of survival. The ending is excellent with a pertinent Afterword from the author.
Suitable for intermediate and junior secondary school students.
