September Book: How to Save a Tortoise by Kate Messner

It's summertime and Ana and Sofia are visiting their cousins Ivy and Ezra in Florida! Ana loves being back in her hometown, going to the beach and eating ice cream again. The cousins get a call about an injured gopher tortoise that's been hit by a car. Ana and Sofia join Ivy and Ezra--as volunteer critter couriers--to transport the animal to the local wildlife hospital. And since the city hasn't done anything to make crossings safer for the endangered animals, the four kids come up with a plan to do just that.
