Why read it?
1 author picked Turtles of the Midnight Moon as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love how Turtles blends magic, friendship, family, and ecology.
I got swept up immediately in this big topic ecomystery and loved feeling totally immersed in the world of leatherback sea turtles and the beautiful country of Honduras. This story had poignant, emotional moments that actually made me cry a few times, the good kind of crying.
Also—I love dual POV stories, and the two cousins at the heart of this story—Abby and Barana—are both such interesting and distinctly drawn characters. I wanted to be friends with them too!
From Heather's list on middle grade with diverse characters and big topics.
