This is a wonderful book by Robb White. One of my elementary school teachers, Mrs. Hitchner, read this to our class and it quickly became one of my favorites. It was out of print until 2008 when the family acquired the rights to it.
It’s the story of adventure in the waters surrounding southern Florida. Nick gets adopted and his sister Penny is left behind in the Florida orphanage they ran away and hid all night in a sailboat. They met Ben, a very good guy who was having his own troubles trying to keep his uncle from selling the boat. Ben was sure if he could find the Lion's Paw, a rare shell, his father, who had been reported missing would come back from the war, so he took the youngsters on as crew and they headed for Captiva Island in the Gulf of Mexico...
