About the Book

Experience the world through the eyes of Amelia, a beautiful intelligent Loggerhead turtle as she travels on her lifelong journey across the vast Pacific Ocean. Born on Yakushima Island in Japan, one of a hundred hatchlings, Amelia's survival is immediately threatened as she wriggles and crawls to the temporary safety of the ocean's kelp beds. As a young 10 year old juvenile and following the instincts of her ancient ancestors, Amelia swims and drifts eastward 8,119 miles until she arrives in a little backwater region off the coast ofBaja California, Mexico. It is in Baja that Amelia develops a life-long friendship with Carlos, the 10 year old son of Santiago, a fisherman who hunts turtles to support his family. Like she does for Carlos, Amelia will enlighten and transform the reader's view of the world, from marine biology, to the dangers of global warming, to the pollution of our oceans caused by plastic bags and straws, to the rapid extinction of the world's endangered species of animals caused by the devastating consequences of overfishing, overhunting, and oil spills. Amelia, the eternal optimist, extends a powerful message for the conservation of our natural resources as well as the preservation of the habitats of the world's endangered species. Follow Amelia as sets her internal compass and embarks on her epic and life threatening voyagefrom Baja to Yakushima Island to lay her eggs on the same exact beach where she was born thirty years earlier. No-one knows, not even Amelia, whether she will survive her journey home to complete her circle of life.
