Odder is a carefree and playful otter that captures your heart and makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside...until the real world watched up with her. The ocean can be dangerous, as her mother warned her when she was young.
This book was a joy to read, even the 'sad' parts. Beautiful and inspiring while also feeling light and frivolous. An excellent book I highly recommend!

My children and I highly enjoyed this novel-in-verse about an Otter named Odder.
This was a very sweet book shares the story of a sea otter living near Monterey, California. It is from the perspective of Odder and shares her story of how she started life at the aquarium as an orphan and was reintroduced to the wild but due to injury finds herself back at the aquarium. She learns so much about herself and about the people who want to help her.
We paired this with the educational resources from the Monterey Aquarium and of course had to spend sometime watching the sweet otters via the aquarium live feed.

My 4th grader read this for her school's bookclub and she wanted me to read it also, so of course, I did.
It was the sweetest book. It was funny and sweet and heartbreaking. It is a story told in poems and it was a great way to tell this story.
My daughter and I both loved it.
