Meet Odder, the Queen of Play:
Nobody has her moves.
She doesnt just swim to the bottom,
she dive-bombs.
She doesnt just somersault,
she triple-doughnuts.
She doesnt just ride the waves,
she makes them.
Odder spends her days off the coast of central California, practicing her underwater acrobatics and spinning the quirky stories for which shes known. Shes a fearless daredevil, curious to a fault. But when Odder comes face-to-face with a hungry great white shark, her life takes a dramatic turn, one that will challenge everything she believes about herselfand about the humans who hope to save her.
Inspired by the true story of a Monterey Bay Aquarium program that pairs orphaned otter pups with surrogate mothers, this poignant and humorous tale told in free verse examines bravery and healing through the eyes of one of natures most beloved and charming animals.
