Port Winston, Texas--home to sun, sand, and shopping. What’s not to like? Everything, to 14 year-old Elizabeth Barker. It’s the middle of 9th grade and Dad’s uprooted the family, returning to his Gulf coast hometown. A once-bustling fishing community, Port Winston is pushing every boundary, vying to be the state’s premier tourist destination. A far cry from quiet, Coulter City, Missouri where Elizabeth used to be somebody and family meant something a whole lot different. Between Mom’s story assignment in Mexico, Dad’s 14-hour workdays and weekends minding Grandpa at the docks, their once close-knit life is in shreds.
Taunted as the newbie camera geek at school, Elizabeth’s given up trying to fit in. When Grandpa, who’s got more judgments than the Old Testament, pronounces her 10¢ shy of worthless and headed for trouble, Elizabeth bolts for Wayward Landing beach--the county’s last wild haven. Her impulsive defense of an endangered, nesting sea turtle against a trio of bullies ignites new purpose, a challenging friendship, and troubles even Grandpa couldn’t predict.
Her fight to save the Landing for the turtles unearths complex family ties to the powerful developer and a long-buried tragedy. When the Deepwater Horizon oil slick threatens the Louisiana coast and the turtles’ feeding grounds, Elizabeth’s journalist mom hits the front lines. And Elizabeth’s fears and plans hit overdrive.
Elizabeth’s Landing--a compelling environmental and family saga, bridges risk and loss with hope and hearts--human to human, human to animal, human to world.

德克萨斯州，温斯顿港——靠近阳光，沙滩和购物中心的家。有什么理由不喜欢呢？对于14岁的伊丽莎白•巴克来说所有的一切都不好。这个时候他读九级，爸爸的流离失所让他们回到他在海湾海岸的家乡。这是一个繁华的渔村，温斯顿港推动每一个边界，在激烈的竞争中成为国家首屈一指的旅游目的地。一个和安静相去甚远的位于密苏里的爱尔兰城市，在这里伊丽莎白曾经是重要的人并且家庭意味着很大的不同。妈妈在墨西哥的任务，爸爸的14小时工作日和周末在码头照看爷爷，这些让他们曾经亲密无间的生活撕成碎片。
作为新手相机极客伊丽莎白在学校受到嘲笑，他放弃了尝试适应。当获得比旧约更多判决的爷爷宣判她的害羞是无用的，只会带来麻烦时，伊丽莎白冲了出去，跑到无法预知的登陆海滩——郡里最后的野生避难所。她一时冲动的从三个坏蛋手中保护了濒危筑巢的海龟，这引发了一个新的行动，一段具有挑战性的友谊，和甚至爷爷也无法预测的麻烦。
她对海龟着陆的救助揭露了有关强大的创立者和一段尘封的悲剧的复杂家庭。当深水地平线浮油威胁到路易斯安那海岸和海龟的喂养庭院时，伊丽莎白的记者妈妈正在前线。伊丽莎白的恐惧和计划加倍碰撞。
《伊丽莎白的着陆》——一个引人注目的关于环境和家族的故事，纽带的冒险，希望和心的失落——人与人，人与动物，人与世界。

Judge’s condensed comments
"It was...quite sweet and there was a ton of heart on every single page...something that felt very classic about this novel. The sea turtle theme made me think of E.L. Konigsberg’s THE VIEW FROM SATURDAY.
Your characters really worked well...good character development...your characters grew and changed...
The 1st person present POV was effective…The cover was very good. I like how you incorporated the beach, the turtles, the water, and the oil spill. The writing itself was very good. Wonderful job. I really enjoyed it."
