Inspired by true events, this story captures both the beauty and the dangers of the Galapagos Islands. Sonia Campos is a college student who is excited to study the famous Galapagos Islands tortoises, in the footsteps of her hero, Charles Darwin. When a freak accident causes her to have to stay behind as the group sets out on their first day of learning and exploring, she is crushed. The decisions she makes that day will mean life or death for Sonia and two new friends as they create their own adventure!
The same story is told twice in this book: once on a beginning level and once on a more advanced beginning level. Both levels contain an extensive glossary.

"I found this a very engaging story with dramatic events. Going on an expedition to the Galapagos Islands sounds like a dream, but a small incident can make thing go very wrong. The story invites you to sympathise with Sonia, and makes you thinkg about the consequences of ones decisions for oneself and others." |
