Book excerpt: Fact 1: Sea turtles have very good senses (eyesight, hearing, touch, and smell). Myrtle felt cozy and safe inside her shell. It was her home that she knew well. She could feel a crack below her flipper and see a sliver of light shining through. Then one day she thought it through what she must do. "I must break through!" Snap, crackle, and pop! "I'm free. Come have an adventure with me." Myrtle's journey is just beginning. She's got friends to make and danger to escape. Follow along for more sea turtle facts.
