What is Sally and the Limpet about?

At the seaside, Sally makes an unfortunate discovery when she pulls a limpet from a rock and it clamps onto her finger. Her family, friends and teacher all try to help, but the stubborn creature will not let go. As Sally learns more about limpets and their homes, she begins to understand why taking wild creatures from nature can cause trouble. Will Sally ever be free of her unusual companion, and can she put things right?
