Description
This is the story of an endangered turtle's birth, her desperate search for a mate, and her survival against the odds to return to lay her eggs in the beach of her birth, where her life is saved by a young boy. With stunning charcoal illustrations, this is a moving tale for the child within who can still be touched by a sense of wonder with the natural world.
Reviews / Votes
"... written with a passion which could inspire a child to become really fascinated by the sea, marine life and the damage bing inflected by man, perhaps fascinated enough to do something about it. We need books like this." The School Librarian Magazine "This extraordinary life story is told in such a factual manner that coverage of the effects of man's carelessness, especially over discarded nets, is heartrending and truly appalling. It is a fine read and, particularly as it is accessible to young readers, an important book."More details
