This is a nice mixed used book. It’s both a picture book with an adventure club as well as a nonfiction book with facts about sea turtles. It altogether works quite well. You can leave out the info bit if you want to read it for story time or just read the info bit if you’ve got a kid really interested in sea turtles.

Love this book! It was such a clever idea for the author to use a story with a plot to inspire and educate readers all in one book. The story creates fun and gives the book a solid structure, and the facts about sea turtles gives this book a purpose and meaning. These two things came together flawlessly in the end, and really finished the book off nicely. Adding onto the information bits: it was all genuinely interesting! Nonfiction can usually be pretty dull, but this book went against that and made learning engaging. I also loved the variety of different sea turtle types included in this book; it widens the scope and makes for a much "fuller" and "rounded" book. Lastly, I loved the last few pages that provided tips and steps for readers to start their own Explorers Club. Including this in the book was such a great choice, bravo! I have zero doubt that many young readers are going to read this book and immediately want to be the best animal experts in their communities. Great job!!

Featuring a diverse cast of characters, this book seamlessly blends storytelling with informative content. Infographics enhance comprehension, making complex facts more accessible to young readers. Alex’s journal presents valuable information in easily digestible entries, while the engaging back matter offers insightful guidance on starting an explorers club, inspiring readers to embark on their own adventures. A great addition to any collection.

This was such a great introduction to sea turtles. The information was presented in a really great question and answer format which made it easy to follow and understand. The illustrations were SO beautiful and perfect for the information presented. The way that environmental concerns were addressed was factual, gentle and simple. I particularly loved the pages at the end with ideas of how to start your own explorers club and where to go for further reading. I will definitely seek out more from this series. Thank you for the eARC!

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

A fun way to learn about sea turtles and the scientific process. I like how the kids guess and give reason and then learn if they are right or wrong in their assumptions. I look forward to more books like this one.

This book was so stinkin' cute.

I loved the illustrations. & that it was kids exploring and how they taught us about rock pools, types of sea turtles, from their hatchings to where they go and what they eat. It was so insanly packed with information and I really liked it.

Thank you for the ARC. Although this book was a bit advanced for my son, one day it will be a cute book for him. Loved the illustrations and it was very informative about turtles

I enjoyed the different way of exploring something kids are interested in and tackling it through a kids explorers club. I appreciated the question and answer format between Alex and her friends.about sea turtles and what they were learning.
