Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | Endangered ch 1 || Dangerous Teen Survival Story Read Aloud @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 4 minutes ago.
Friday, November 11, 2022 - Each Friday I give a shout out to a book I loved and read the first chapter aloud in hopes that others will discover and devour it as well. Today I’ll be reading chapter 1 of Endangered by Eliot Schrefer. If you like survival stories, books about animals, or stories that take place in another country, then this is the perfect book for you! Amazon recommends this book for grades 7+.
Book Blurb: From National Book Award Finalist Eliot Schrefer comes the compelling tale of a girl who must save a group of bonobos and herself from a violent coup. Congo is a dangerous place, even for people who are trying to do good. When Sophie has to visit her mother at her sanctuary for bonobos, she's not thrilled to be there. Then Otto, an infant bonobo, comes into her life, and for the first time she feels responsible for another creature. But peace does not last long for Sophie and Otto. When an armed revolution breaks out in the country, the sanctuary is attacked, and the two of them must escape unprepared into the jungle. Caught in the crosshairs of a lethal conflict, they must struggle to keep safe, to eat, and to live. In ENDANGERED, Eliot Schrefer plunges us into a heart-stopping exploration of the things we do to survive, the sacrifices we make to help others, and the tangled geography that ties us all, human and animal, together.
