Events › Living the Otter Life with Katherine Applegate - Online Author Talk

Join award-winning author and summer reading champion Katherine Applegate as she talks about her heartwarming novel in verse, Odder.

Everyone wants to meet Odder, the Queen of Play. She’s a fearless daredevil, curious to a fault. When Odder comes face-to-face with a hungry great white shark her life takes a dramatic turn that will challenge everything she believes about herself―and about the humans who hope to save her.

Katherine Applegate’s Odder is inspired by the true story of a Monterey Bay Aquarium program that pairs orphaned otter pups with surrogate mothers. This poignant and humorous tale told in free verse examines bravery and healing through the eyes of one of nature’s most beloved and charming animals.

About the Author: Katherine Applegate is the Newbery Medal-winning and bestselling author of numerous books for young readers, including The One and Only Ivan, and the Animorphs series. She lives with her husband, who writes as the author Michael Grant, and their children in California.

This program is funded by the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation.
