Turtle Trackers
Ten-year-old Isaac spends most of his days helping his mum manage their coastal caravan park in Queensland, leaving little time for adventure. But everything changes when he discovers a sea turtle laying her eggs on the nearby beach. Eager to help protect the nest, Isaac dreams of joining the local turtle monitoring program, but his responsibilities at the park make it difficult.
As if things weren't complicated enough, a well-known travel blogger and his energetic dog arrive as guests. Knowing that a negative review could seriously impact the family's business, Isaac is determined to make their stay a success while still finding a way to support the turtles.
Caught between family obligations and his passion for wildlife, Isaac must learn how even small actions can make a big difference.
Turtle Trackers is a heartwarming story for young readers who love animals, nature and conservation. Through an engaging adventure, it shines a light on the remarkable journey of sea turtles and the importance of protecting their nesting habitats.

It is full of fabulous facts and the reader will learn things about turtles that they never knew! A thoroughly enjoyable read for middle primary and above.”
