Chellie loves the big green turtles in their secret pool on the island
where she lives. Every day, when the tide is right, she goes to be with
her turtle family, and when she learns their scientific name, Chelonia,
she decides to call herself Chelonia Green. One day she is devastated to
find Caretta, the only loggerhead turtle in the pool, choked to death on
discarded fishing line. Chellie decides to take action and begins
cleaning up all the flotsam and jetsam along the island's beaches; she
even begins a campaign to persuade fishermen not to throw their garbage
into the sea. Her efforts help bring together her island community, and
produce some surprising results!
