Manatee Rescue by Nicola Davies
Zoologist Nicola Davies merges a heart-pounding adventure with a conservation message triggered by a life-changing--and mind-changing--encounter.Manuela had imagined that killing a manatee would be like killing a very big fish, just more exciting. But when her father successfully harpoons one, leaving its baby orphaned, she finds that her feelings have changed. She vows to rescue the baby manatee and return it to the river. But she soon realizes what an enormous task she's taken on. Will she be able to save the baby manatee--and protect him from being hunted in the future, too?
Nicola Davies lives in Devon, UK, and works as a writer, zoologist, and television presenter. She began her career studying geese and humpback whales before moving on to the BBC's The Really Wild Show as a researcher and broadcaster. She's published numerous children's books since then, covering topics ranging from human biology to blue whales and turtles to bats, owls, and climate change. She also instructs BA and MA students in creative writing.
