Learn how sea turtles survive in the wild

After laying her many eggs deep in the sand along a Florida beach, a female loggerhead sea turtle returns to the ocean. Thus begins the hatchling turtles' arduous and dangerous journey to survival since only one in a thousand sea turtles live to adulthood. But even before this batch of eggs can hatch, a tropical storm threatens to destroy the entire nest. That's when Buster and his friend Rob help a local wildlife officer save some of the hatchlings -- including two they name Okee and Dokee. In the process, the boys (and the readers) learn everything from how to track the path of a tropical storm to how sea turtles survive in the wild. The latest in the outstanding Frederick Press "Buster's Adventures" series, John Harms' text offers an entertaining and informative blend of fiction and expository writing ideal for young readers ages 7 to 12, and grades two through five.
