(4) 4-6 A family trip to Florida to celebrate Grammy's birthday turns serious as a hurricane approaches. Sassy, who had been concerned mainly with bringing just the right swimsuit, adopts a new mission: saving sea turtle eggs threatened by the storm. Creative problem solving and a comforting, reassuring family dynamic provide examples for overcoming adversity in this lighthearted, if predictable story.
