Chelonia Green, Champion of Turtles

There in the shimmering green water lay four big oval shapes like a giant’s carving dishes. They were patterned in brownish green and had five handles. Suddenly the handles stirred and the giant’s carving dishes began to move!Chellie was very small when she first saw the beautiful green turtles with the scientific name so close to her own. Every year she would watch them swim in the sea and make their long journeys up the beach to lay their eggs. But one day, Chellie makes a grim and horrible discovery, a discovery that turns her life upside down and forces her to act.

Christobel Mattingley

I was born at Brighton, South Australia, on 26th October 1931, and grew up in a little house on the sandhills by the sea. I loved swimming and playing on the beach. Then we moved to live in Sydney, New South Wales, and lived in an old house near the bush, where I learnt to know and love watching all sorts of creatures. My writing started when I was 10 in the children’s pages of a nature magazine. My sister and I always had pets and my stories are often about people who care about animals and birds.
