[Raven: A few tech issues with Dove’s audio in this, hence the delay. Back to the normal schedule next week!]
Don’t worry Wing, the rescued baby seal in Sweet Valley Kids #28 does die! So I guess the books aimed at seven year olds were more realistic about mortality… (Also Jessica saves a baby sea lion in SVK #49, so she seems to have a unusual aptitude for rescuing marine mammals. She should really consider that as a career).
I … should not be as pleased with this as I am, I’m sure.
This was published a year and a half after Exxon Valdez. I know I saw oil spill footage on local news growing up, though I can’t say for certain which one(s) it was.
*looks up list of oil spills*
There was a spill in Orange County CA in ’90, and then the Gulf War in the beginning of ’91 (which is the largest ocean spill on record) so it seems likely to me that a California preteen would be aware of spills.
