loggerhead turtle

A loggerhead turtle hatches on an Australian beach and eventually makes her way to the sea. But when she is injured, she is rescued by a group of fishermen, who name her Yoshi and bring her to Two Oceans Aquarium in South Africa. She stays at Two Oceans Aquarium for twenty years until she shows signs of wanting to return to the beach where she was born and make a nest of her own, so the staff train her for endurance and release her with a tracking device. Soon, the world watches as Yoshi embarks on a 23,000-mile journey from South Africa to Western Australia's Pilbara Coast, the longest and farthest journey of any bird, fish, or mammal ever tracked. Includes back matter on loggerhead turtles and Yoshi.

"Young readers will witness . . . as a baby loggerhead hatches from its shell. With nothing but the light of the moon to act as a guide, readers will follow the newborn turtles' harrowing attempts to outpace a series of predators on their march toward the glistening shore. After only narrowly avoiding hungry crabs, owls, and foxes, the turtle rides ocean waves to a calm clearing. Following a moment of peace in the still ocean water, the turtle joins the rest of its pack on a dive into the moonlit sea to continue the voyage home"--Publisher.
