Turtle in Paradise
by:  Jennifer L. Holm
2011 Newbery Honor Book



It's 1935 and times are hard.  Turtle's mother needs a job and Turtle can't come with her.  Turtle is sent to Key West, Florida to stay with relatives she has never met.  Thrown in with a bunch of rough and tumble boy cousins isn't easy.  Turtle may be a girl, but she is tough and she will prove it - tough as the shell on a turtle.

Best historical fiction I'v read in a long time!
