“Yoshi is a young, injured sea turtle found by Japanese fishermen
more than twenty years ago. . . . Readers follow Yoshi as she
prepares for her return [to the ocean] . . . Moore uses scientific
knowledge to describe Yoshi’s travels from Cape Town to the Indian
Ocean and beyond, ultimately ending on the western coast of
Australia. . . . Yoshi’s incredible story, the collection of
scientific information, and engaging illustrations will capture
readers, encouraging inquiry and exploration through a sea turtle’s
eyes.” — School Library Journal (starred review)
“[A] striking homage to a tenacious reptile . . . Prose takes
readers along on a rescued sea turtle’s dramatic 25,000-mile marine
journey. Released with a tracking tag in 2017 after 20 years in a
South African aquarium, Yoshi begins a record-setting migration
that encompasses two oceans and a little over two years. . . .
Expansive back matter includes a detailed map of the trip.” —
