Author Roland Smith always knew he wanted to write, but he started out in a rather unconventional place - the local zoo. He wrote Sea Otter Rescue while saving otters in the aftermath of the Exxon Valdezoil spill in 1989.
Who could have guessed that he'd move to the motives of a young person who moves underground to escape his family and life? He weaves this book in interesting ways that describe why many people would want to escape. Enjoy the book and the following activities. |
