"A heartening and pensive story, told through irresistibly charming art, Star the Elephant is an utter delight." --John Patrick Green, New York Times-bestselling creator of InvestiGators, on Star the Elephant

Sunny the Shark is a fearsome predator. As the oceanic whitetip shark searches for her next meal, a chatty school of pilot fish trails behind, cleaning her in exchange for food crumbs. But when Sunny mistakes a plastic ring for prey and it gets caught around her fin, she soon struggles to hunt. Will she be able to break free and find food before winter sets in?
