2025 Reader's Choice Book Awards Silver Winner
This modern-day classic follows Charli, an inquisitive and delightful girl, on a heartwarming journey of discovery loved by children, parents, teachers, and librarians.
On a school field trip to the aquarium, Charli meets a marine biologist who rescues sea turtles and she can't stop wondering what it would be like to be a marine biologist herself.
"'You RESCUE sea turtles?' asked Charli.
Dr. Grace smiled and said, 'Yes In fact, that's my favorite part of my job '
'That's so cool, ' Charli said, imagining herself scooping up a sea turtle in her arms. 'But . . . what do they need to be rescued from?'
'Well, one of the biggest dangers sea turtles face is plastic trash in the ocean and on beaches, ' Dr. Grace explained. 'If they think it looks like food, they'll eat it. Sadly, that can make them very sick, maybe even too sick to live.'
As Dr. Grace answered more questions, Charli's mind wandered. Soon, she was lost in a turtle daydream."
This delightful, imaginative chapter book showcases STEM as being fascinating and fun as Charli problem-solves with empathy, triumphs over adversity, and leads her friends and community in a collective effort to help save all sea turtles through environmental conservation. With the girl-empowerment of the Princess in Black books by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale, Charli's Turtle Triumph is sure to delight young readers
