Synopsis

Cletus, the Little Loggerhead Turtle is a funny children's book full of adventure and action, depicting two tiny loggerhead turtle's journeys to the surf. Cletus and Charley's adventure begins when they crack open their shells and emerge at their nest's top. The other hatchlings crawl toward the moonlight in the night sky, directly into the surf except for Cletus. Cletus's brother Charley tries to convince Cletus to stop climbing the wall and follow him to the surf. Cletus thinks that climbing the wall is a shortcut to the water and learns it was not a good idea! During his adventurous travels to the surf, Cletus endures many obstacles throughout the story and wonders if he will ever get to the surf. He meets two caring friends, a hermit crab named Leonardo and a sandpiper named Oceana, who shares their knowledge of the beach and the Sargasso Sea with him and safely guides him to the surf. Cletus learns many life lessons from his friends, for example, the value of true friendship and how important it is to care for each other. He will carry much wisdom for his latest adventure to the Sargasso Sea. 

 

About this title

About the Author

Lindalouise had imagined becoming an author of children's books since the one of the most exciting adventures of her life. She is a retired teacher who taught fourth grade for thirty years and found much joy in her rewarding career. The best part of the day for her was reading novels with her students and, of course, writing. Lindalouise obtained a bachelor's degree and two master's degrees: one in Special Education and the other in Reading Specialization. She currently resides in New Jersey with her husband, son, and a wonderful dog Bella. She also has two sons, who live in New York, and is immensely proud of her family and success. Cletus, the Little Loggerhead Turtle, is inspired by her volunteering and guiding hatchlings to the water. Walking on the beach and witnessing a mother loggerhead turtle emerging from the surf and crawling onto the sand to lay her eggs is the most inspirational event to watch. It has left her with a profound respect for this endangered species.
