The plot follows three sisters in the Caribbean who one day witness a turtle laying its eggs on the beach. Since the eggs are sought after by humans, they organize to protect them. During the plot we get to follow the daily rhythms and activities, and smells and sounds are brought to life.

This text holds your interest in the development of the plot while you bask in vibrant and vivid descriptions of the sunny Caribbean West Indies. Young sisters are fascinated by the ocean animals that choose their beaches to lay their eggs. A wonderful informative story that describes the plight of the threatened extinction of Leatherback Turtles. On a cold Winter's day, this book warms you until you hear the rocking of the waves and sounds of Caribbean rythms echoing life in the West Indies.
