Discover the hidden world of a tide pool while following a hermit crab through 24 hours of tide cycles, dangers, and chance meetings as she searches for a new shell. In a great tide pool along the central coast of California, what from afar looks like just a rocky outcropping comes to life with color and drama as a hermit crab searches for a new, larger shell. The crab must survive extreme conditions through the course of a tide cycle--encountering crashing waves, hungry predators, and a neighborhood of diverse animals--in order to find her new home. While following the crab's story through gorgeous, paneled illustrations, readers will also learn about the adaptations of a wide variety of creatures, why tides happen, the tide pool food web, and more through sidebars and photos.
