Synopsis
Ben Floyd is almost fourteen. He's ready for a change of scenery and a taste of adventure. When an unexpected turn of events finds the Floyd family in the Florida Keys over the Christmas vacation, Ben has a welcome opportunity to escape the neighborhood routine. Here he and his younger brother Cody meet Mica, a know-it-all eleven year old who lives a nomadic life aboard a boat with her marine biologist father. At first Ben resents Mica, but hanging out with her, he experiences the excitement and the danger of the Keys and, in the process, tests the limits of his own courage.
