TURTLE MOON is a powerful jungle adventure about courage, family and protecting the natural world. Beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Levi Pinfold, this gripping story takes readers deep into the rainforests and beaches of Costa Rica.
Silver Trevelon’s family hasn’t felt quite the same for a long time. Ever since the baby they hoped for never arrived, the house has felt heavy with sadness. So when Silver’s father is invited to work at a turtle rescue centre in Costa Rica, Silver hopes the trip might help her family heal - and bring a little adventure back into their lives.
Soon Silver finds herself surrounded by extraordinary wildlife and the warmth of a vibrant conservation community. One magical night she witnesses an incredible natural wonder: a rare leatherback turtle coming ashore to lay her eggs.
But the wonder quickly turns into worry. When the precious eggs are stolen by poachers, Silver and her new friends must race against time to find them. Their search will take them through dense jungle and into real danger - and Silver will discover just how brave she can be when something important needs protecting.
