Publisher Description
This delightful and innovative children’s e-book is the first in the trilogy. These are full picture books written to be enjoyed by the 5 to 10 year old, along with their parents and even older siblings. It is brought to life through a full audio book with soundscape, casted narration and original music composed specifically for the series. In addition to a subtle eco-message, the series promotes and models self-belief and emotional resilience as the young reader travels with Torri on her adventures.
In this first book of the trilogy, Torri is drawn by a mysterious force and reluctantly leaves her home on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. She sets off on an epic journey full of adventure, and makes many friends along the way who help her realise that she is no ordinary green sea turtle. Why, for instance, does her shell become rainbow colored?
Eventually Torri becomes aware that a magnetic energy has been pulling her toward the biggest event of her life. She finally obeys this force and travels across the top of Australia, helped along by the ocean’s currents until she arrives at Ningaloo Reef. Torri is surprised to learn that this was where she started her life and where she needed to return to have her own family. But how did she end up so far away on the Great Barrier Reef? Book Two of the trilogy provides the answer!
Customer Reviews
Excellent interactive e-book
I bought this e-book for my niece over the holidays. She absolutely loves it. The illustrations are beautiful and vibrant, and the sea creature characters move around each page in an animated fashion. As an added bonus, the narration highlights the text as it is read, like a karaoke machine if you will. It's very nice to watch her point her finger to the words and try to read along. Highly recommend this book!
