Sam is an eight-year-old boy who's always on the lookout for adventure in his corner of the Alaska wilderness. Sometimes Sam's explorations get him into a scrape--most times he learns something new. In the second book of this exciting series, Sam is building a driftwood fort on the beach when he hears a strange cry, like a baby, echoing off the water. It is a baby--an abandoned baby sea otter. Sam is determined to help take care of the pup through the night so a biologist can take over when the ferry arrives. And what a night it is! Early chapter-book readers will delight in Sam's bizarre babysitting experience, and celebrate the satisfying outcome of a rescued wild animal that finds a new home in the Alaska Zoo.
