At thirteen years old, she's not old enough to leave her sleepy seaside town to go on a solo underwater rescue mission...but when a group of selkies offer to lead her to the mysterious island Hildaland, she can't refuse. No sooner does she find the island than she is taken prisoner herself. The only way she can save herself and her biological parents is to rely on her quick mind, her dolphin friend, Cass, and good luck. But will those be enough to save the prisoners of Hildaland?
