One wandering sea turtle, two young American scientists, eight months on a tropical island paradise... Join the adventure! In 1998, marine biologists Anna and Kirsten moved to Jumby Bay, Antigua to study and protect the critically endangered hawksbill sea turtle. One unique turtle caught their attention and provided endless eventful lessons. Peach Fuzz took every possible wrong turn during her first nesting season, winning hearts, earning a new nickname, and teaching sea turtle biology through her unconventional nesting attempts. In the end, Peach Fuzz shows us all the way home.

Loved this book! This story took me on a great adventure to the south seas... much needed as I freeze in the north! It made me want to be Kirsten (the author who tells this true story) and enjoy her work in the islands. Sea turtles rule!!!
