(3) 4-6 Heroes in the Wild series. Illustrated by Annabel Wright. Manuela fishes with her father on the Amazon River. When they harpoon a manatee, the girl becomes determined to save its calf and raise awareness of the gentle mammals' plight. The story's strong environmental message, engaging characters, rich setting, and warm illustrations make this short novel--based on a real-life incident--both informative and moving. Further information appended.
