But they know nothing about collecting sea urchins—can a grouchy boat captain help them? Maybe. But Jack and Annie have another problem when Annie finds a badly injured sea otter. They’re not supposed to help the otter. . . but it’s the right thing to do. Can they convince the grouchy boat captain to help them?
