Leah of the Sea-uh was a Loggerhead Sea Turtle hatchling. She was born to swim to a Sargassum raft.
Someday, she hoped to return to that same Florida beach to bring forth future generations. Sadly, a bird snatched her and flew her to a nearby parking garage. He intended to consume her for his midnight snack.
Miraculously, Leah managed to escape by wiggling her way free from the bird's sharp talons and then hiding behind a car tire. Her only hope of surviving was treatment at the local sea turtle rehab center.
The manager's daughter, fifth-grader Lisa, found her and came to her rescue. An unbreakable bond formed between Lisa and this two-inch tall hatchling.
This illustrated book chronicles their extraordinary parallel adventures.
