Bookroo's summary

Echo Reef adores sea horses and dreams of having one as a pet. When she learns her classmate Rocky Ridge has a pet sea horse, her desire intensifies. But as she faces differing opinions on whether sea horses should be kept as pets, Echo must decide if her love for them means setting them free. Can she make a sea horse happy, or is their happiness found in the open ocean? Dive into Echo's underwater world and discover if her heart's desire aligns with what's best for her favorite creatures.

From the publisher

Echo Reef loves sea horses so much, she wants one for a pet…no matter what! Of all the creatures in the ocean, sea horses are Echo Reef’s favorite. They’re sweet and gentle and they glide through the water so gracefully. When Echo discovers that Rocky Ridge, one of her Trident Academy classmates, has his own pet sea horse, she wants one right away. Not everyone agrees sea horses should be pets, however–perhaps they are happiest when swimming freely. But Echo thinks that if Rocky can make a sea horse happy, she can too! Can’t she?
