Über diesen Titel
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?

Kritikerstimmen
"Visiting relatives in the Marshall Islands, an American boy must decide whether to save an endangered animal. David is excited about visiting his mother’s family in the Marshall Islands, a freely associated state of the United States, for his great-grandfather’s birthday. He can’t wait to meet his cousin Betra and hopes to glimpse a sea turtle. Much surprises David about the islands; there are no jungles, for example, and no hula dancers. The islanders’ clothes are simple, sometimes ragged; Betra’s family lives in a tiny house with walls of woven palm mats. David’s relatives teach him new skills, like fishing and climbing a palm tree for coconuts. He helps catch a sea turtle but is horrified to learn it’s intended for Grandfather’s birthday feast, protesting, “These animals are endangered. If we kill them to eat, they will all be gone soon!” The night before the feast, David has a difficult choice to make: make his family angry or free the turtle. In his debut children’s book, Hubbs provides a well-balanced story that considers cultural differences and similarities." - Kirkus Reviews
