This book is a coastal folktale about a young boy named Tim who loves to visit the coastline of South Carolina each summer. Tim lives in a city a few miles away with his mother. His grandparents live off the coast of a South Carolina beach. Tim began his visits when he was a small boy. He still enjoys collecting shells as he walks along the beach. One day while collecting shells, he finds the most beautiful and odd conch shell for the first time. Believing that his shell would be a keepsake, Tim is excited and overjoyed. The suspense begins when his newfound conch shell is lost and found again and again. He is kept in wonder about how its colors are changing. He also wonders if he will ever be able to keep it. The storyline keeps young readers in wonder as each unexpected and astounding event occurs. It is a book that will stir the imagination, passion, caring, and nurturing senses of any young reader. In some ways, it portrays the “full circle of life” shown through a young boy's experiences in his natural surroundings. It can be called a children's book of wonder.
