Quick Summary

From the moment a tiny turtle hatchling breaks free from its sandy nest, readers embark on an action-packed ocean journey filled with surprising dangers and narrow escapes. Children will root for these baby turtles as they dart past hungry birds, escape tangled fishing nets, and swim through giant ocean waves, discovering how tough these reptiles really are.
