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\, <a href="https://alxndria.ent.sirsi.
 net/client/en_US/home/search/results?qu=Odder+applegate&amp\;te="><em>Odde
 r</em></a>.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Everyone wants to meet Odder\, the Queen of Pla
 y. Odder spends her days off the coast of central California\, practicing 
 her underwater acrobatics and spinning the quirky stories for which she&rs
 quo\;s known. She&rsquo\;s a fearless daredevil\, curious to a fault. But 
 when Odder comes face-to-face with a hungry great white shark\, her life t
 akes a dramatic turn\, one that will challenge everything she believes abo
 ut herself―and about the humans who hope to save her.</p>\n<p>Kathe
 rine Applegate&rsquo\;s <em>Odder </em>is inspired by the true story of a 
 Monterey Bay Aquarium program that pairs orphaned otter pups with surrogat
 e mothers. This poignant and humorous tale told in free verse examines bra
 very and healing through the eyes of one of nature&rsquo\;s most beloved a
 nd charming animals.</p>\n<p><strong>About the Author:</strong> Katherine
