Summary: It’s nesting season for loggerhead sea turtles on North Carolina's Gull Island. Nine-year old Tara (or Sweet T as her family sometimes calls her) is determined to see hatchlings make it safely from their nests to their ocean home.Summering on Gull Island with Great Aunt Mae could be tons of fun, but T is having a hard time making new friends with island children, let alone finding kids to help her monitor a sea turtle nest.There’s little sister Jenna, but Jenna is, well, little. Fuzzy is around, too, but Jenna’s blue stuffy rabbit gets lost all the time. Besides, a toy bunny can’t help protect turtle nests.
Tara befriends Billy, a moody island child. He teaches her skimboarding and shows her the best shelling spots. But Billy stomps away when she asks him to read the "Turtle Team Guide" and join her in saving baby sea turtles.
What’s up with Billy? He’s nice one minute and grumpy the next. And why does he refuse to join T’s Turtle Team? T can't figure him out.
A tropical storm threatens Gull Island just as the sea turtle nest is ready to hatch. T must abandon the nest and prepare for bad weather.
- Will Sweet T and her friends keep safe from the storm?
- Will the sea turtle nest survive angry ocean waves?
- Will Billy reveal his secret?

Sweet T and the Turtle Team is an early chapter book teaching the values of friendship, acceptance, and caring for the environment. Sweet T is Tara's nickname and she is in the 4th grade. While visiting her Great Aunt Mae on Gull Island, she meets a boy named Billy who is a year older and also in the 4th grade.
The story is interesting with beautiful illustrations. Amanda's thoughts on Tara and Billy is that they have to learn to work together and solve problems. We recommend this book for children ages 6 and older.
