Then, while riding in his boat to escape his parents' troubles, he discovers a manatee that's been shot in the head.

Because of Dan, Skeet begins to unravel the mysteries surrounding the manatee's apparent murder and his parents' dissolving marriage. \n \nSkeet discovers that life is a lot like tarpon fishing, in which you can't look just at the surface of the water - you have to look through it, at what lies beneath. \n \nThe Missing Manatee was nominated for the Edgar Award for Best Juvenile Mystery.\n
