Summary: A baby snapping turtle, no bigger at first than a silver dollar, makes an amazing journey down the length of the Mississippi River, from its source in northern Minnesota all the way to Louisiana. By the time Minn reaches the Gulf of Mexico, 25 years have gone by and she has grown to weigh 46 pounds!
Minn of the Mississippi won the award Newbery Honor Book.
