About the author

Brooke Bessesen studies and works with wildlife, bringing tremendous experience to the writing table. Her newest book, Vaquita, is "passionate... a heartfelt and alarming tale" (Publishers Weekly) that attempts to untangle the intricate controversies behind the precipitous decline of the world’s most endangered marine mammal. Kirkus called it "gripping... a well-told and moving tale of environmentalism and conservation." And author David Helvarg wrote, "If Rachel Carson had written a True Crime book, it might read like Brooke Bessesen's Vaquita."
