About this listen
Loads of drama, wrapped up in a long-kept secret. Pull in middle grade readers! Grab a surfboard and catch a wave with crazy Charlie. 2022 International Indie Award for Children's Chapter Book.
Charlie, and his human, live aboard a boat called Ninja. Poachers boldly prowl local turtle nests. Why is the Coast Guard always too late? Who can make a difference? Surely not mere dogs?
Charlie's leadership tips the balance in his friend group. His fellows begin to see that everyone and anyone is called to take a stand. The dogs learn to ride their surfboards with expert skill, but wily poachers stand in the way. The canine surfers must understand their power to make a difference...just as they are.
Reading level: Longer illustrated chapter books/middle grade books (ages eight to 12).
Listening level: storytelling on Audible (all ages).
Children's educational topics: friendship dynamics, leadership styles, self-confidence, environmental conservation, sea turtles, and of course...canine surfing. Excellent adjunct to classroom relationship discussions and environmental teaching units.
