A young girl dreams of being a marine biologist like her Aunty Isobel – until she realises that boats make her seasick, seaweed is smelly and she’ll have to get her face wet. Maybe she doesn’t have what it takes to be a marine biologist after all.

But then something amazing happens on the beach, something that might give her the courage to take a step towards her dreams…
