Her entire room has flooded! Not just her room, but the whole house is filling up with water as the world floods outside. Confused and cold, Sam is rescued by a wise, little turtle called Neville, who takes her along the beautiful underwater highway, teaching her the ways of this watery world.In store by end of October 2018.You can also add a 'Brave Turtle' soft toy to complete this gift. These Brave Turtles are made of tshwe-tshwe fabric and inside they have a heart made from... you’ll never guess... recycled wetsuits that were worn by the NSRI crew when saving lives.
