Description

Over 100 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list!

From #1
New York Times bestselling author of Wishtree and The One and Only Ivan, Katherine Applegate, a touching and lyrical tale about a remarkable sea otter, perfect for summer reading!

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: An Otter's Story is also available in a new picture book format with stunning illustrations by Charles Santoso.

Katherine Applegate ( the author ) is an amazing author, I’ve read most of her books and they all are very good. What’s funny is that my name is also Katherine spelled the exact same way. Anyway you should definitely read this book. 5 star book for sure.

    Odder dives inside the world of sea otters, and inside the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s remarkable mission to protect them. Odder is a page turner, with joy, humor, realism, and a crafty number of details. The story is in verse, which (over and over) captures essentials with phenomenal brevity and clarity. Understanding unseen, beautiful parts of our world is a joy that helps ensure their future. Children can read Odder themselves, but sharing as a read-aloud improves a superb book with togetherness. As always, the best children’s books speak to adults. Irresistible, playful, and illuminating, Odder is a feast that feels like dessert.
