La notte delle tartarughe. I videomaker selvaggi
Sofia can’t believe it: making a video on sea turtles with Beast, the class bully! And Zhenyi is instantly anxious about participating in a European competition… but this is the punishment decreed by the headteacher andit’s not up for discussion. Luckily, Tommi is a man of many talents and is sure that the video will be a success. Scettùcene Bay is just as their science teacher described it: a half-moon of sand far from everything. And Filippo, the vet who treats every injured marine animal brought to the reserve, is perfect in the interview explaining all the troubles that afflict the Mediterranean Sea. They need to report everything and really change things right away.
