Filled with adventure, humor, and heart, 𝑻𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒆 is a wonderful novel about change and resilience in childhood.
Turtle has to be strong because of her family circumstances and because of the time period in which she is living. She is faced with 
having to make difficult decisions and often has to act like a grown-up in order to survive and to help others survive.
