In "The Missing Manatee" by Cynthia C. DeFelice, the story revolves around a young boy named Finn who is deeply concerned about the disappearance of a manatee in the local waters of his Florida home. As he embarks on a quest to find the missing creature, Finn learns about the importance of marine life and conservation. His adventure teaches him valuable lessons about friendship, responsibility, and the delicate balance of nature. Through his determination and love for the manatee, Finn discovers not only the joys of his surroundings but also the impact that one person can have in protecting wildlife.
