Raquel followed the directions of the Glass Eye Fish: "3 flaps to the left, 2 to the right and then all straight ahead", but did not find the exit and felt even more lost. That cave was a labyrinth!!

Raquel was terrified of the Angel shark, so she swam as fast as she could until she reached a completely different part of the island.

Raquel kept going round and round ... Until she saw near the seabed a little pink fish watching her in the distance. When she approached him to ask if he knew how to get to the seagrass, the fish buried himself under the sand at the speed of lightning!!

Click on the audio and listen to the Razorfish!

Raquel was so happy that she decided to stay in the seagrass for a while. She knew that she still had a lot to travel, learn and understand, but for now what she wanted was to eat leaves of seagrass with her friend the turtle named Laura and all the other friends she had made along the way.

So that is how, after a lot of effort and all kinds of adventures, the turtle named Raquel arrived to the seagrass on the island of Tenerife. She learned many interesting and valuable things along the way and showed herself that with a strong will you can go anywhere.

Raquel was already so exhausted from going through that dark cave that she began to think about turning around ... When suddenly, she stumbled upon a huge row of gruesome teeth coming out from the rocks ...

When she finally felt safe, still worried, she went down to the seabed to rest for a little bit. Suddenly, she heard a mysterious voice that came from a bright blue little sea slug ...

Raquel finally reached a quiet and safe area of the seagrass. At last! But all those adventures had been worth it: This place was incredibly beautiful!!

Raquel watched with great fear at how the Angel Shark was going towards her at full speed again ...

Click on the audio and listen to the advice of the Trumpet fish!

So Raquel went to the East of the island, very happy that she had not eaten that plastic bag and was finally on the right track to reach the seagrass.

So Raquel followed the path to the East and arrived at the Cave of Shrimps thanks to the good advice of the Razorfish ...

Raquel was getting closer to the swirl of water when she suddenly saw someone swimming beside her making signs with their arms ... It was a diver!!

Raquel followed the directions the Moray gave her, and when she saw the rays of light that showed the exit of the cave, she could not believe it ... Finally!

Raquel was very happy to see a green turtle like her after such a long time, so she went to say hello!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Raquel reached the Western part of the island, and in the distance, she saw the leaves dancing with the waves that the Stingray told her about ... Very happily, she went to bite one of the leaves when suddenly it disappeared under the sand!!

Then she saw something that looked like a jellyfish in the distance and thought "It's the perfect lunch!" She was going to take a bite of the jellyfish when suddenly ...

Raquel, following the path to the East, came to a large cave and ventured into it. It was very dark. She swam and swam looking for the exit but could not find it, and she got a little bit scared… So when she heard voices in the distance, she headed towards them ...

Thanks to the good advice of the Garden Eels, Raquel followed the Path to the East, happy at last to be on the right track ... She passed in front of a huge and terrifying cave but managed to avoid it, and in the distance, she finally saw the seagrass.&nbsp;

Raquel was getting closer to the swirl of water when suddenly she heard a voice warning her from behind and saw it was a cuttlefish advancing towards her ...

When suddenly she saw a swirl of water in the distance with many fish around it and decided to approach it out of curiosity.

Then, Raquel saw a shadow approaching from the distance on the seabed and thought to herself “Great, someone to ask for help!" But immediately she realised it was an Angel Shark with a really grouchy face and suddenly, he began to chase her!

Raquel is a sea turtle who loves to travel.

She has been traveling for years, almost since she was born on a Caribbean beach. She has been swimming for thousands of miles, wandering very remote seas and oceans and meeting marine creatures of all kinds. But the world is very big, so she still has a lot to discover… And so much more to learn!

Raquel was suddenly surprised by a group of trumpet fish that were swimming towards her like crazy.

https://api.bookcreator.com/users/v2/BaySdbUQBbchJ1lYBsFlDO5gNAH2/books/CNNUg_m9Td-cL7840tlR2A/assets/WX_XkMjMTuOIZD3qQSWa9A.jpeg?width=1030&height=773

Click on the audio and listen to the Pipe Fish!

Raquel continued eating delicious leaves from the seagrass, now being more careful not to eat any Pipe Fish. After a while, when she had eaten enough, she laid down on the sea meadow. Suddenly, she was surprised to see another turtle in the distance!

https://api.bookcreator.com/users/v2/BaySdbUQBbchJ1lYBsFlDO5gNAH2/books/CNNUg_m9Td-cL7840tlR2A/assets/BmvNtp4AQN-QAaW-_6xCBA.png?width=462&height=326

She had finally arrived at the seagrass! What a joy!! Seeing that sea meadow filled Raquel with happiness. Immediately she went down to rest on the seagrass that she had been searching for so long ...

Raquel went to the North of the island but the currents were super strong!! She swam and swam for miles against the currents hoping to find the seagrass. It took only a moment of distraction to let herself get carried away by the current and stuck in a rock!&nbsp; She had a hard time getting out but she eventually made it! Then, she went to the surface to breathe and when she descended back, she could not believe where the currents had dragged her ...

Raquel swam aimlessly for a long time without finding the seagrass... Then she noticed that very close to her, on the sandy sea floor, there was a huge Stingray, so she decided to try her luck and ask him about the seagrass.&nbsp;

Raquel finally reached the vicinity of Tenerife and began to swim in circles, but she wasn’t able to find the seagrass by herself.

Finally, she had arrived where the seagrass grows! She was exhausted, but seeing that sea meadow filled her with happiness. As soon as she arrived, she went down to rest on the seagrass that she had been searching for so long ... Until she saw a familiar shadow that scared her ...

Raquel was starving after so much adventure, so she straight away went to eat some leaves from that rich seagrass that she had such a hard time finding.

She had finally arrived at the seagrass! What a joy!! Seeing that sea meadow filled Raquel with happiness. Immediately she went down to rest on the sea grass that she had been searching for so long ...

Raquel approached the diver to thank her for her help and then went in another direction to find a safer place within the seagrass.

One day, while swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, she was making one of her surface stops to breathe, and suddenly she realized that she would love to stop for a little while to rest in a beautiful place.

Then, Raquel remembered that some time ago, a turtle friend of hers from the Caribbean, told her about some beautiful seagrass in the Canary Islands, next to Africa. So, there she went.

Raquel decided to stay in that area of the island. There, she swam aimlessly until she started to feel very hungry ...
