Out of Season
Preview of Out of Season
Maya, a fourteen year old girl, lives
on Rieley Bay. Her older brother,
Saul, and her father are fishers. She
has a relatively normal life. Although everyday, early in the morning she sneaks out of the house,
hops into her kayak and starts to
paddle to a near rock bank. A few
weeks ago she discovered a family
of sea otters living there. She keeps
it a secret, for good reason: last year
a man up the coast shot a sea otter
saying it was destoying his catch.
Surely if anyone knew about them
they would be in big danger. One
morning Maya went out to see the
otter when soon she noticed up the
hill was a man staring out into the
water looking at her.
Review for Out of Season
Out of Season was a wonderful
read. A certainly great novel of
111 pages. From calm and soothing to action packed and breathtaking, the book keeps the reader
engaged. It’s a realistic reflection
on animals and nature. A stong
female role was put in well. Feelings are strong throughout the
book and well said. Never too
slow or fast, always maintaining
good pace. Out of Season is a good
book for any age group. I loved
this oustanding book.
Maya and her family get caught in
a dangerous game to save the sea
otters from poachers.
“They have black eyes and teddy
bear snouts, and they curve
through the water like acrbats when
playing in the waves.”
“I sink back into the tree trunk. Honestly
this was the last thing in the world I
expected.
What are they doing?
Are they spying on me?”
