About This Book

The annual fishing excursion with Uncle Frank should be fun, but the noisy coots could ruin everything. Plus this might be Cora Lee's last visit to Coot Pond, because her mother is pretty tired of Frank spending all his time fishing and never visiting them back in Indiana.

"How about a story?" says Frank to take Cora Lee's mind off things.

And so begins the tale of Putnam and Pennyroyal - diving birds more at home under water than on it. Putnam is a quiet loner, while Pennyroyal thrives on adventure. When both grebes are trapped in an underground cave, only a daring escape can free them. But is cautious Putnam up to the challenge? In the end it's Cora Lee who determines whether a Putnam - or a Frank - can ever really change.
