On a reef in Hawaii, our hero, called Bad Eyes, is a very small Manini fish with poor eyesight. Ushered to the rear of his school , he is charged to act as bait for predators, but is also able to survive as the fastest swimmer in the school. Will his scary life change when a pair of Marsha's glasses fall into the water above him. Curious to investigate, he swims up to peer at the clear glassy circles, when they suddenly fasten over his eyes. Diving to retrieve her glasses, Marsha meets Bad Eyes, now seeing better than any fish on the reef. They magically begin to speak. Marsha offers her glasses to Bad Eyes. This help save his school, but will he watch the reef for other marauders, like a school of sharks? And can they also help protect the reef? Can he help a desolate sea turtle looking for a quiet place to lay her eggs? An easily disguised octopus, the most intelligent animal on the reef, may offer aid as a most aware travelor among the choral chasms.? Will he gain the respect of a school of giant barracuda, to help with warnings of fisherman coming to drop their bottom nets on the reef, causing damage and death to all that are caught in them? With the help of Marsha their adventure insures for the both of them a confidence and understanding about the needed balance of nature to preserve our reefs legacy for our future.
