The oldest turtle ever recorded lived to the age of 188! As it turns out, two characters from Carl Hiaasen's Skink No Surrender are fascinated by these shelled creatures. Using the novel study, scholars research three types of turtles and complete a KWS chart based on their findings. Additionally, they write quatrain poems about themes from the novel and have some fun decoding anagrams.
