The Talking Earth: An Everglades Survival Story About a Seminole Girl, Animal Companions, and Spiritual Discovery for Kids (Ages 8-12)

Puts the reader in touch with many facts about how nature works and how our lives can be effected by it.

Not just for young adults. Since reading this I’ve read 6 of her other books. Loved “My Side of the Mountain” series and “Julie of the Wolves” series.

Great book for any unit study related to ecology or conservation. It aligns well with the IB PYP transdisciplinary theme of Sharing the Planet. A young girl is banished from her Seminole Tribe to the Everglades. She makes friends with wildlife and learns to develop her senses for listening to the animals and finally learns the import of what they can tell her about her world ands theirs. Average 5th grade read.

Both girls and boys should read this book on resilience and resourcefulness in facing challenges while alone in the Everglades. Inspiring, and, of course, all the nature facts are excellent - Jean Craighead George - what more needs to be said?

It was good reading, Something different to read.. And its good to go out side the box, The box is boring.

Loved this one! A must read - especially if you live in Florida!

A very sweet story about a young girl recognizing where she came from and how she can preserve it. I hoped it would inspire my son a little since it was for his school project but alas...it was a fight to get him to read it everyday.
