About the Book



A touching and lyrical tale about a remarkable sea otter, from Newbery Medalist Katherine Applegate, author of Wishtree.



Book Synopsis



A touching and lyrical tale about a remarkable sea otter, from Newbery Medalist Katherine Applegate, author of Wishtree.

Meet Odder, the Queen of Play:

Nobody has her moves.
She doesn't just swim to the bottom,
she dive-bombs.
She doesn't just somersault,
she triple-doughnuts.
She doesn't just ride the waves,
she makes them.

Odder spends her days off the coast of central California, practicing her underwater acrobatics and spinning the quirky stories for which she's known. She's a fearless daredevil, curious to a fault. But when Odder comes face-to-face with a hungry great white shark, her life takes a dramatic turn, one that will challenge everything she believes about herself--and about the humans who hope to save her.

Inspired by the true 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's most beloved and charming animals.

Odder the cutest and most curious otter

My son really enjoys books written by this author which have interesting, complex animals as main characters. Odder is an adorable ocean otter. And the way the story is written keeps my 8 yr old engaged. I wish there were more illustrations but he loves the ones that pop up from time to time. We’re half way through and enjoying it.

Glad I read it :)

I’ve read a lot of children’s books as an elementary teacher, but somehow missed this one. Read it at me grandson’s urging and loved it! It’s a sweet story written in a unique style from Odder’s perspective - feels like a believable view of what an otter might experience.
