By Alice Walsh

One day, Morgan decides she'll steal them to show her friends. But while they're on the wharf oohing and ahhing, Morgan accidentally drops Uncle Farley's teeth into the ocean!

Morgan and her friends pool their resources to get the teeth back--Ian's dad is a fisherman, Zakia's mom is a dentist, Markee's dad is a police officer--but the fabulous fish just won't spit them out.
