Turtle Walk

When Samantha Steadman starts high school at a boarding school in the Ukahlamba Drakensberg mountains in South Africa, little does she know that she will soon be engaged in an ecological war for the survival of the endangered leatherback turtle. Samantha and her friends - rich and sassy Jessie Delaney, and cabinet minister’s daughter Nomusa Gule – take the fight from the classroom to the open seas. Their adventures range from dangerous night-time skirmishes with illegal fishermen, to crazy antics for television cameras.

Back at school, they have to deal with romances and heartbreaks, a joint musical production with the neighbouring boys’ school, encounters with an eccentric bunch of teachers, conflicts with parents and skirmishes with bitter rivals. Together they will need to find the strength to cope, and the hope that comes from knowing that individuals can make a difference.

Along the way, there are also romances, rivals and a whole lot of growing up to do!
