Readers of the popular, marine science-fiction book, adventures of the littlest hatchling, are sure to enjoy the sequel: littlest hatchling grows up. These books present the three life stages of kemps ridley sea turtles from their perspective of the sea world around them, and of the humans with whom they share it.

As we catch up with the main characters, four kemps ridley sea turtles; we find littlest hatchling, his friends, shellton, coralee and sealya have outgrown their hatchling life-stage, and are excitedly entering their juvenile life stage.

About this title

About the Author

Ms. Holmes grew up in coastal Massachusetts towns; for 42 years she lived in New Hampshire with her husband and daughters. After her husband's death, she moved to Hawaii. There she learned about the threatened green sea turtles she sometimes encountered while snorkeling. Moving to South Texas in 2005, she soon heard of the rare and endangered Kemp's ridley sea turtles. The more she learned about efforts being made to reverse their diminishing numbers, the stronger became the urge to write their story from their perspective. The characters are fictionalized; the science, biology and environmental issues are true.
