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.
\nKatherine Applegate&rsquo\;s \;Odder\, is inspired by the true story o f a Monterey Bay Aquarium program that pairs orphaned otter pups with surr ogate mothers. This poignant and humorous tale told in free verse examines bravery and healing through the eyes of one of nature&rsquo\;s most belov ed and charming animals.
