Love this book! It was such a clever idea for the author to use a story with a plot to inspire and educate readers all in one book. The story creates fun and gives the book a solid structure, and the facts about sea turtles gives this book a purpose and meaning. These two things came together flawlessly in the end, and really finished the book off nicely. Adding onto the information bits: it was all genuinely interesting! Nonfiction can usually be pretty dull, but this book went against that and made learning engaging. I also loved the variety of different sea turtle types included in this book; it widens the scope and makes for a much "fuller" and "rounded" book. Lastly, I loved the last few pages that provided tips and steps for readers to start their own Explorers Club. Including this in the book was such a great choice, bravo! I have zero doubt that many young readers are going to read this book and immediately want to be the best animal experts in their communities. Great job!!

This is a nice mixed used book. It鈥檚 both a picture book with an adventure club as well as a nonfiction book with facts about sea turtles. It altogether works quite well. You can leave out the info bit if you want to read it for story time or just read the info bit if you鈥檝e got a kid really interested in sea turtles.

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.
A fun way to learn about sea turtles and the scientific process. I like how the kids guess and give reason and then learn if they are right or wrong in their assumptions. I look forward to more books like this one.

Thank you for the ARC. Although this book was a bit advanced for my son, one day it will be a cute book for him. Loved the illustrations and it was very informative about turtles
