Hunt for the Wild - Book #1 Being in the fourth grade at an elementary school on a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is an adventure in itself. The teacher rides a horse to school and cracks a bullwhip before math class. There’s a shave ice stand at the little town across the street, and fun waves to boogie board at the nearby beach. It’s all a kid could want. But when Jack Pennington hears a tall tale about a rogue sea turtle that can run faster than a man on land, and spots a mysterious old fisherman hand his teacher a fossilized turtle beak from a secret beach, he’ll stop at nothing to solve the mystery.
