About this audiobook
The bestselling and Sibert Honor–winning creators of The Book of Turtles brings us the true story of a snapping turtle’s extraordinary journey—and the amazing conservationists who helped give him a second chance. This feel-good story about beating the odds is complete with inspiring back matter.
Here is the true story of a very lucky turtle. His story began long ago when he was hatched from a very small egg on an autumn day. After decades of traveling between his summer pond behind the firehouse and his winter pond across the street, he never could have guessed that on one October day he would become unlucky . . .
The amazing friends and challenges he met along the way are all chronicled by the Sibert Honor–winning duo behind The Book of Turtles in this tribute to the resilience and good luck of their dear friend, a very lucky turtle indeed.
Detailed back matter includes an author's note, information about snapping turtles, and reader resources for how to save injured turtles.
Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
