When acclaimed naturalist Sy Montgomery and wildlife artist Matt Patterson arrive at Turtle Rescue League, they are greeted by hundreds of turtles recovering from injury and illness. Endangered by cars and highways, pollution and poachers, these turtles—with wounds so severe that even veterinarians would have dismissed them as fatal—are given a second chance at life. The League’s founders, Natasha and Alexxia, live by one motto: Never give up on a turtle.

Good writing but too many unrelated social issues
Revisado: 05-04-24
Unfortunately this was written during the COVID pandemic, and the author felt it necessary to react to the politics and events of the time. It distracted me from the story; I wanted to read about turtles to escape all the social issues of the day. Otherwise, it was well written and it accomplished its mission of teaching me about turtles and the struggles they encounter in the modern world.

In 1985 southern Sudan is ravaged by war. Rebels and government forces battle for control, with ordinary people…people like the boy, Salva Dut…caught in the middle. When Salva's village is attacked, he must embark on a harrowing journey that will propel him through horror and heartbreak, across a harsh desert, and into a strange new life. Years later, in contemporary South Sudan, a girl named Nya must walk eight hours a day to fetch water. The walk is grueling, but there is unexpected hope.

Just wow!

A wonderful true story of perseverance and courage of a young Sudanese “lost boy” caught in the middle of a war zone and how he eventually made his way back home to improve the lives of his people. I would recommend this book for 13 and up because of the wartime violence.
