Ah Ha! is this the mysterious Olive Ridley? I understand that it must be hurt. I think you should try and mention this important fact earlier in the story.
I like this part of the story. It makes me feel like I’ve met Carra and her Mother. I can feel the love and humour they share.
I saw the little seagull my mom helped me tag after it hurt it’s wing ,I called him Fly.It actually mom and I used to play a game when I was about 8 years old ,that whoever found Fly first in the morning had the other person buy a smoothie or get one from the fridge for them.
I like this. It really gives a feel for the hard life the truck has had. All rusted and scratched from all the beach sand.
I’m pretty sure he’s been in the water with that thing a lot
I guess that this is some kind of creature, perhaps a bird? Not all readers know all the things you know (this is one reason they might want to read your book, to find new things out). Perhaps you could include a short description in the story so that the reader can get excited about the thing Carra has seen.
perhaps ’through’ instead of ’at’?
