X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Everyone wants to meet Odder\, the Queen o
 f Play. Odder spends her days off the coast of central California\, practi
 cing her underwater acrobatics and spinning the quirky stories for which s
 he&rsquo\;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 l
 ife takes a dramatic turn\, one that will challenge everything she believe
 s about herself―and about the humans who hope to save her.</p>\n<p>
 Katherine Applegate&rsquo\;s&nbsp\;<em>Odder</em>\, is inspired by the tru
 e story of a Monterey Bay Aquarium program that pairs orphaned otter pups 
 with surrogate mothers. This poignant and humorous tale told in free verse
  examines bravery and healing through the eyes of one of nature&rsquo\;s m
 ost beloved and charming animals.</p>\n<p><strong>About the Author:</stron
