Riley doesn’t want to go on her family’s vacation to Topsail Island. It would ruin her summer. But her parents insist. Besides, Topsail is a magical place, they say. But Riley doesn’t believe them.

She doesn’t, that is, until a friendly sea turtle arrives … and a magical trip begins.

  • “Lindsay Zarse skillfully intertwines factual information about sea turtles with an adorable fantasy in this enchanting book. A great summer read for the young and young at heart.”

                  –Mary Maden, author of A Sea Turtle Story

  • “Within three pages, [my son Joseph] was enthralled. Mr. Asks-Constant-Questions was silent, leaning against me with bated breath, until I read the first chapter. Originally thinking to read one chapter, I couldn’t resist reading the first four. … From a parental viewpoint, I appreciated the educational spin. … The characters were fun, the dialogue quick and, although I thought that some of the phrases would be above Joseph’s head, he was able to follow along perfectly well. I would say as a read-aloud book, this one is geared toward children from ages 4-7. As a read-on-their-own, ages 8-10. The illustrations were done by Brian Martin and were a tremendous addition to the book. Overall, Joseph and I gave this book a big “A” for Approved.

                 –Mandy Dawson, web reviewer, www.MakesFunofStuff.com

  • “Lindsay Zarse creates a childhood wonderland tlhrough a trip to the beach. Her creative imagery and adventure will delight children big and small – and the lucky adults who read to them.”
