Traces a year in the life of a harp seal, from her birth on an ice floe in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, through the spring migration, and back to her home in the Gulf.
Jack spends his days sailing the sea and taking in nets full of half-dead fish, ignoring the polluted condition of the water, until he finds an ailing seal and receives a message from the sea itself about its sorry state.
Provides photographs and information about seals, discussing what they are, how they look, the different species, where they live, what they eat, and their endangered status. Includes a glossary, a list of related Web sites, and an index.
