Pincin, the prince of the watery kingdom of Nereidia Pacific, spends much of his playtime on a quest to gather a growing number of waste items floating in the blue Pacific Ocean. He finds unlikely allies in a kindly fisherman and his two young granddaughters, Gracie and Sophia, a family he encounters afloat near Santa Catalina. Once the girls are treated to a fantastic journey into Pincin's undersea realm, they are made aware of the devastation caused by the millions of pieces of garbage washed into the ocean each year. They resolve to educate the children of their school on these dangers and to encourage recycling projects in their area by means of a catchy new slogan: Help Our Pacific or H.O.P. To It Fully illustrated with original art and photographs by author Daria H Brooks
