Shell Shock! Turtle Rescue League in Orion Magazine!
We are extremely excited to tell you about an article published in Orion Magazine’s Spring 2022 issue, titled “Shell Shock,” written by Sy Montgomery and illustrated by Matt Patterson. The article features patients and residents here at the Turtle Rescue League, including our beloved Fire Chief! Alexxia and Natasha, our co-founders, highlight the struggles wild turtles face to survive, and what we do to help.
Notice anything at the end of the article?
It was an excerpt from Travels in Turtle Time, the upcoming book from Sy, illustrated by Matt and published by HarperCollins. We can’t wait until you all can read it in 2023!
We hope you all enjoy this excerpt as much as we do! Please share it with your friends!
