SAVING A SEA TURTLE AGAINST THE ODDS
When David goes to visit the Marshall Islands, he learns and does many things he never thought he’d do, like swimming with sharks and sleeping in a hut! Best of all, he meets his cousin Betra, a girl with no fear who shows him all the fun things to do on the island.
But then David learns a dark truth about the islands. A sea turtle is in danger, and he’s not allowed to help the poor animal. What should he do? Will he break the rules to save the turtle’s life? Or will Grandfather have the final say?

MARK HUBBS is an eleven-year veteran of the U.S. Army Infantry. Since
leaving active duty he has worked as a historic preservation specialist and
archaeologist for the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command. His
work has taken him to several far-flung islands in the Pacific where the
fierce battles of World War II have left relics both above and below the
surface of the coral sand.
Mark has had a life-long passion for history. This interest ranges from
battles and leaders to the more mundane cultural and material history of
the common people who were the real heroes of the past. History is more
than anything else the story of ordinary people and how those people reacted to extraordinary circumstances. For almost four decades Mark has learned first hand how the people of the past lived by participating in costumed living history programs at scores of American battlefields and historic sites.
