X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join us as award-winning author and summer
  reading champion Katherine Applegate talks to viewers about her enthusias
 tically heartwarming novel in verse\, <em>Odder</em>.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Every
 one wants to meet Odder\, the Queen of Play. Odder spends her days off the
  coast of central California\, practicing her underwater acrobatics and sp
 inning the quirky stories for which she&rsquo\;s known. She&rsquo\;s a fea
 rless daredevil\, curious to a fault. But when Odder comes face-to-face wi
 th a hungry great white shark\, her life takes a dramatic turn\, one that 
 will challenge everything she believes about herself―and about the 
 humans who hope to save her.</p>\n<p>Katherine Applegate&rsquo\;s <em>Odde
 r</em> is inspired by the true story of a Monterey Bay Aquarium program th
 at pairs orphaned otter pups with surrogate mothers. This poignant and hum
 orous tale told in free verse examines bravery and healing through the eye
 s of one of nature&rsquo\;s most beloved and charming animals.</p>\n<p><st
