Inspired by family stories, two-time Newbery
Honor winner and "New York Times" bestselling author Jennifer L.
Holm beautifully blends family lore with America''s past in this
charming gem of a novel, rich in historical detail, humor, and the
unique flavors of Key West.
Life isn''t like the movies, and
eleven-year-old Turtle is no Shirley Temple. 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 stay with relatives she''s never
met. Florida''s like nothing Turtle has ever seen. It''s hot and
strange, full of wild green peeping out between houses, ragtag boy
cousins, and secret treasure. Before she knows what''s happened,
Turtle finds herself coming out of the shell she has spent her life
building, and as she does, her world opens up in the most
unexpected ways.
