Bookroo's summary
Cyrus, a gentle sea serpent, is taunted by a shark for not sinking ships. As he grapples with the pressure to conform, Cyrus embarks on a journey of self-discovery. When a storm threatens voyagers and pirates loom, will Cyrus find the courage to embrace his true nature and become a hero? Dive into this tale of bravery and identity, where the ocean's depths hold more than just secrets.
From the publisher
A shark accuses Cyrus of cowardice because he won’t sink any ships. The kindly sea serpent almost succumbs to peer pressure, but learns at last to be himself. “Cyrus’s adventures told in rollicking prose are a sure-bet for story hour.” – School Library Journal
