Description
Ten-year-old Isaac is flat out. Helping his mum run a caravan park on the Queensland coast means no time for fun. So when he finds a sea turtle nesting on the beach, he's disappointed that he can't volunteer as a turtle tracker to watch over her eggs and hatchlings. Author descriptionSamantha Wheeler fell in love with animals when she received a tortoise at the age of six. She went on to study agriculture, work with dairy farmers, and teach science, until writing her first children's book, inspired by koalas, in 2011. Her books, which include Smooch & Rose, Spud & Charli, Mister Cassowary, and Wombat Warriors, have been shortlisted for the Queensland Literary Awards, the Readings Children's Book Prize, The Wilderness Society's Environmental Award for Children's Literature, and the Royal Zoological Society of New South Wales Whitley Awards. Samantha hopes her books will inspire everyone to make a difference. www.samanthawheeler.com.au |
