Turtle In Paradise

(W) Jennifer Holm (A) Savanna Ganucheau. She's smart and tough and has seen enough of the world not to expect a Hollywood ending. After all* it's 1935 and jobs and money and sometimes even dreams are scarce. So when Turtle's mama gets a job housekeeping for a lady who doesn't like kids* Turtle says goodbye without a tear and heads off to Key West* Florida to live with relatives she's never met. Florida's like nothing Turtle's ever seen before though. It's hot and strange* full of rag tag boy cousins* family secrets* scams* and even buried pirate treasure! Before she knows what's happened* Turtle finds herself coming out of the shell she's spent her life building* and as she does* her world opens up in the most unexpected ways. Filled with adventure* humor and heart* Turtle in Paradise is an instant classic both boys and girls with love.
