Publisher's Synopsis
A Journey of Discovery, Adventure, and the Fight to Protect Our Oceans!
Twelve-year-old Mia Kingtide is no ordinary explorer. With her unique connection to the ocean and a heart dedicated to its preservation, Mia embarks on her most daring adventure yet-a two-month voyage aboard Pegasus, her family's 34-foot trawler, to the Sea of Cortez.
Joining her dad, Luke, and her grandfather, Jim, Mia sets sail along the stunning California coastline, navigating through iconic stops like Morro Bay, Santa Barbara, and Catalina Island before crossing into Mexican waters. Along the way, they encounter breathtaking marine life, playful sea lions, majestic gray whales, and mysterious creatures of the deep. But the ocean is not without its challenges. From navigating environmental threats to encountering rogue fishing practices, Mia must rely on her courage, wit, and love for the ocean to make a difference.
Inspired by the legendary journey of John Steinbeck and Ed Ricketts, Mia Kingtide: Journey to the Sea of Cortez is a thrilling tale of family bonds, marine biology, and the fight to protect our fragile ecosystems. Perfect for fans of adventure, environmental stewardship, and stories that inspire young readers to make waves in the world.
