When thirteen year-old Samantha Steadman starts high school at an elite boarding school, little does she know that she will soon be fighting an ecological war for the survival of the endangered leatherback turtle.

Samantha and her friends — rich and sassy Jessie Delaney, and politician’s daughter Nomusa Gule — take the fight from the classroom to the open seas. Their adventures range from dangerous night-time skirmishes with illegal fishermen, to crazy antics for television cameras.

Back at school, they have to deal with romances and heartbreaks, a joint musical production with the neighbouring boys’ school, encounters with an eccentric bunch of teachers, conflicts with parents, and skirmishes with bitter rivals.

The trio will need to work together to face their fears, and to hold on to the hope that individuals can make a difference.

Fun and funny, this feel-good story will appeal to tweens and younger teens, and especially to VSCO girls!

Industry Reviews

"Turtle Walk is a book that shows you how to react to situations, such as peer pressure, but it also teaches children how important other living creatures are to our world. Everything has a purpose. When I finished the last page I was a little sad that the book had ended, but happy too, because I felt as though I had learnt something really important... Everyone will enjoy this story, but I highly recommend it to Teens who love animals, romance novels and mysteries. I can’t wait to read the next book!" (Jenna-Laine Fuller Puku)

"If you're a parent looking for a good, clean, fun read with an important message to boot, then South African author, Joanne MacGregor's book, Turtle Walk is one read you'll want to consider... Highly readable and filled with quips that will be sure to bring a smile to your face, Turtle Walk is the kind of book you'd want your teens to read." (Tammy February Women24)
