She recalled the morning when it all began; it seemed so long ago... Now she was going to swim across the ocean. Maybe she wasn’t going to find the answer, but someday some creature would.

I'm terrified. I'm lost. But I have to fix this.

These fictional short stories about animals in their native biomes were written by sixth graders for readers of all ages. These authors meticulously researched the biological habits and habitats of their main characters, and then incorporated universal themes such as love and loss, friendship and betrayal, destruction and survival.

Each story is sure to draw you in. Rescue captured sea life with an ambitious otter, negotiate lasting peace with a slow cheetah,  befriend a vicious predator with a capybara, or find where you truly belong with a penguin.
