It’s hot and strange, full of ragtag 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. Florida’s like nothing Turtle’s ever seen before though. 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. After all, it’s 1935 and jobs and money and sometimes even dreams are scarce. She’s smart and tough and has seen enough of the world not to expect a Hollywood ending. But then again, 11-year-old Turtle is no Shirley Temple. Goodreads: Turtle in Paradise: The Graphic Novel
