They gracefully demonstrate their magical abilities to Edie but are unaware of the man-made dangers they face—and it is up to Edie to save them. Edie and the Surf Sprites is a magical adventure filled with fantastic characters that brings awareness of how important it is to look after our environment and the creatures found within it.
