Dear fellow readers:

I am the author and publisher of this book. This book is the story about the biology, geology, and geography of the Galapagos Islands. Also, Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection is discussed in clear language, using traditional and unusual examples. During the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth, the book makes timely reading for middle school students. One specialty of this book is that the last chapter is designed to help students write a book report. One of my reviewers said he wished all his college students would read it and take heed. It is, however, written at the 8th grade level. Good readers starting in the fifth grade will enjoy the book. It was also written to appeal to readers of any age, including adults. Conceptually, the book is probably above the 4th grade level. The photos are fabulous and numerous. Whether you want an armchair visit to the Galapagos or are taking your children to the Galapagos, you'll want to read this book.

Please, please, please. Get it from your local library. You may enjoy it as much as your children do. Then, write a review yourself. I wrote the book for children to read, not to make me rich.

Sincerely,

Linda Litteral, EdD (specialist in writing nonfiction for children; also, biologist, ethicist, photographer, storyteller, etc.)
