Based on the story of a real-life super turtle, Myrtle the Loggerhead Turtle reimagines the beginning: the magic of a protecting mermaid, the danger of a shark and barracuda, and the yearning to return to Hilton Head Island for a very special job. With the colorful majesty of Mira Scott's illustrations, we watch Myrtle from a hatchling to laying her first eggs 35 years later.
