​Synopsis: Nina loves visiting her grandparents, whose special bookshelf holds treasures that tell stories of the sea—from whale songs to shipwrecks! But when they take her to the shore, Nina learns that beneath the waves lies a shallow shelf, much like the bookshelf at home; it's full of life and mystery waiting to be explored!
