Publisher's Synopsis

Each year, earth's rarest sea turtles, born on just one beach in Mexico, mysteriously lose their way and strand on the beaches of Cape Cod. Through the herculean efforts of many national turtle rescue organizations, thousands of these turtles have been rehabilitated and saved. Every Turtle Counts is the story of an autistic seven-year-old, gifted with animals, who rescues one of the turtles and won't give up on it, just as her mother won't give up on her. Children of all ages will root for the turtle and her rescuer in their ultimate triumph against heavy odds. Heartwarming illustrations paint the tale of a young heroine who loves her turtle. Praise for Sara Hoagland Hunter's The Unbreakable Code "...solidly intriguing, little-known historical episode within a fictional framework..absorbing story, based on interviews with former code talkers, casts a well-deserved spotlight..." -Publishers Weekly "...The Unbreakable Code presents an interesting part of World War II history that traditionally has received little attention..." -School Library Journal Praise for The Lighthouse Santa "If you have young children it's a must. If your children are grown, buy it just in case. If you have no children, buy it to remember your own childhood dreams and then find a child to read it to." -Marblehead Magazine "Hunter cuts to the heart of the holidays by highlighting the importance of family, friends, and a touch of magic, of course." -Wellesley Weston Magazine
