This is a magical underwater adventure/crime story about a greedy grouper taking advantage of an ecological disaster caused by greedy humans to extort the denizens of a dying reef system. The long-format poetry (in several acts) is clever, and the artwork is rich and captivating. Plus, as in The Eleventh Hour there is a puzzle in each illustration, in this case in the form of the hidden image of "the sign of the seahorse" and one or two "largely unnoticed shrimp". I think I found them all, but it was not easy! o_O
