Summering on Gull Island is lonely until nine-year-old Sweet T meets Billy, an Island child with a secret.  Can T uncover Billy’s secret and help him? Will the children be safe when a tropical storm threatens?  Will their sea turtle nest survive an angry ocean?  Join Sweet T and the Turtle Team to find out!
