    "An absolute joy to read." —Book Riot

    Rachel was a girl who loved

    science and the sea,

    books and writing

    and all the creatures of the world.

    Rachel was quiet,

    a listener by nature.

    But when she saw problems,

    she could not remain silent.

    Some people thought girls

    shouldn’t be scientists.

    They thought girls

    shouldn’t use their voices

    to question or challenge,

    even to protect

    all the creatures of the world.

    Luckily Rachel didn’t listen

    to them.
