Synopsis
In 2002, a young orca was spotted alone in Puget Sound near Seattle - lost, starving and 300 miles away from her home waters in Canada. Donna Sandstrom, an orca enthusiast in Seattle, eagerly joined the volunteer effort to help. Here she tells the riveting story, from identifying the orca as a missing calf named Springer; through making the decision to try to transport her home; to planning and organising the trip; to, finally, releasing her near Vancouver Island, where Springer was reunited with her family. It's an incredible story of the only successful orca rescue and reunion ever., A captivating first-person story of a real-life orca rescue!When a young orca was spotted alone in Puget Sound, no one knew where she'd come from, but they knew it was dangerous for her to be left there alone. Scientists and researchers from two countries had to work together to determine where the orca came from, and then to decide how to save her. The riveting story is told by Donna Sandstrom, a citizen volunteer with the rescue effort. From identifying the orca as a missing calf named Springer, to transporting her to the north end of Vancouver Island, where she was reunited with her family, this book gives readers behind-the-scenes details on the only successful orca rescue and reunion ever!Kids will be thrilled to be part of the mission, when a little lost orca is brought home!, In 2002, a young orca was found swimming in Puget Sound - lost and alone. Researchers soon discovered that the orca was a two-year-old named Springer. She had been separated from her family, who lived almost 400 miles away! Without human help, Springer would never rejoin them. But no one had ever successfully reunited a wild orca with its pod. How could she be rescued and safely returned? Packed with facts and information about one of the world's most fascinating mammals, Orca Rescue! is the inspirational true story of the first - and so far, only - successful orca rescue and reunion in history and the community that worked together to make it happen. Book jacket., A riveting account of the only successful orca rescue and reunion in history told in first person by Donna Sandstrom, a citizen participant of the rescue. In 2002, a young orca was spotted alone in Puget Sound near Seattle -- lost, underweight and 300 miles away from her home waters in Canada. Donna Sandstrom, an orca enthusiast in Seattle, eagerly joined the volunteer effort to help. Here she tells the riveting story, from identifying the orca as a missing calf named Springer; through making the decision to try to transport her home; to planning and organizing the trip; to, finally, releasing her near Vancouver Island, where Springer was reunited with her family. It's an incredible story of the only successful orca rescue and reunion ever, and readers will be captivated as the epic rescue unfolds! Donna Sandstrom's fascinating up-close-and-personal depiction of the rescue mission, with new behind-the-scenes details, uses an innovative mix of narrative storytelling interspersed with spreads of factual information about orcas and the history of their relationship with humans. Sig Burwash's evocative watercolor illustrations make the perfect accompaniment to the text. Orcas and their survival are a topical issue, and readers will discover what it's like on the front lines of whale rescue, including the collaboration and teamwork that are required. There are numerous curriculum links to life science here, particularly animals and habitats, as well as to social studies in the descriptions of the connections and cooperation between Canada and the United States. The book includes a map showing Springer's trip, tips for how to help whales and dolphins, resources and a glossary.
