When a small yacht drifts across the sea with only a little bear aboard, an exciting race begins through the Norfolk Broads.

With help from the mysterious Marsh Man, local birds and wetland animals, the bear navigates winding waterways and uncovers the secret of the Broads. Along the way, readers discover the area’s wildlife, learn about water safety and explore a magical British landscape.
