Yoshi and the Ocean: A Sea Turtle’s Incredible Journey Home

Yoshi is a loggerhead sea turtle rescued by Japanese fishermen off South Africa. After an injury, she spends two decades healing and growing at an aquarium in Cape Town. Scientists attach a tracking device when they release her into the ocean, allowing them to follow her route. Over a year, Yoshi travels 25,000 miles to an Australian beach, where she was born and will lay eggs. Back matter includes a map, loggerhead anatomy and life-cycle diagrams, and information about ocean life.
