Read the excerpt from "To Save a Turtle."Early every morning, all of the volunteers at the sea turtle camp went out to the beach. There were five of them altogether. Marnie Kinski, twenty-seven and rather dainty, walked carefully along the sand. Russell Clark, a few years younger, moved in long, smooth strides. Pamela Freeman almost marched, holding a clipboard against her chest. The team had two jobs: to clean up the beach and to watch out for "crawls.”

When Marnie got back to camp, it was very quiet, and the rest of the volunteers lay in their camp beds, all apparently fast asleep. Moments after Marnie got into her bed, though, Brenda got out of hers. She pulled a jacket on over her pajamas and went very quietly out of the big sleeping room. Then she started down the trail to the beach. The moon was full and bright, and she could easily see where she was going.
