I wanted to pass this on to everyone--Odder is a beautiful book and this coin drive is a great service project for a library or classroom!

Hello, all!
We are so excited to publish The One and Only Katherine Applegate's next book, Odder (on sale September 20), an absolutely delightful and moving novel in verse told from the point of view of a very charismatic otter named Odder.
Katherine was inspired to write this book by the Monterey Bay Aquarium's sea otter surrogacy program and is sure to motivate the next generation of conservationists. We are hosting a Make Waves with Odder Coin Drive this October and we'd love for you to consider participating and/or spreading the word!
Participating schools will receive materials to host a coin drive in their schools. All participating schools will be entered for a chance to win a visit with Katherine Applegate.
You can find more information online here, including steps to participate. You can register to receive more information here.
Finally, we'd love your help spreading the word! Please consider forwarding this email to teachers or librarians you think might be interested. We're also sharing the news online with #MakeWaveswithOdder.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
All my best,
-Mary
