Summary of Caroline Van Hemert's The Sun Is a Compass

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I have always loved the outdoors, but I was a bookworm as a kid. I found an escape in stories, and I loved learning about the world around me. I would bargain for my reading time, and sometimes my parents would force me to go outdoors.

#2 I had a difficult time finding my place at the University of Arizona. The school was large and freshman classes hosted a hundred students or more. The university’s social scene was built around sororities and fraternities, which I had no interest in joining.

#3 I learned a lot from Dr. Bill Calder, a professor in his sixties who had more energy than our entire roster of twenty-five college students. He would roust us from our tents just as the sun was beginning to color the acacia bushes red, and prod us to hurry, get up, there’s so much to see out here.

#4 I had a difficult time finding a job as a field biologist, and when I did, it was with a local ornithologist who allowed a small number of volunteers to help her band birds. I was extremely nervous, but the crew leader hired me anyway.
