Misha and Ziggy are back in their third adventure, and this time they are heading to Cancún as their dad is filming a documentary about sea turtles and how they next and hatch their eggs. But when they arrive, there are surprised to discover that there are no turtles on the beach. Worried, the siblings decide to use their skills with animals to discover what's wrong. With Ziggy's shape-shifting ability and Misha able to talk to animals, the pairs quickly discover that the turtles are trapped underwater. But can Ziggy and Misha use their abilities to help the turtles and rescue their dad's documentary?
This is such a lovely book with just the right amount of adventure to keep readers gripped. I also loved the environmental messages as well as the information about wildlife, animals and culture that are woven into the plot. It's a lovely mix of information and story-telling that will appeal to readers, especially animal lovers.
Although this is the third book in the series, Escape Of The Sea Turtles could easily be read as a stand alone book thanks to a recap of the twins' abilities being included in chapter one.
With fab illustrations by Emma McCann punctuated throughout the book, this is a novel that I know will appeal to lots of lower key stage 2 children in my school.
