Stranded

12 year-old Koby is self-conscious about her appearance and her abilities ever since she lost her foot in a bicycle accident four years ago. She feels most at home on the water on her family's sailboat, but she revels in her time alone aboard a dinghy that she navigates through the Florida Keys. When she rescues and helps several animals, the independence and attention generated by these incidents give her an improved self-image as well as new, admiring friends. Her parents' separation and a hurricane that threatens her father's livelihood as well as the whales' lives are other challenges she must be overcome.
