When chance forces Owen the Seal from his comfortable world at the zoo, he is confronted with his greatest fear - the ocean. He must survive at the shore for thirty days until the zoo truck returns to pick him up. With the aid of a clever little bird who befriends him, Owen discovers he has the wits and skills to thrive as an ocean seal. On the day his greatest challenge looms, Owen rises to his better self and saves his new friend from certain death. When the zoo truck returns, Owen must decide between a life of security and dependence at the zoo or a life of uncertainty, self-reliance, and independence at the shore. When he makes his choice, Owen completes the classic hero's journey of self-discovery.
