Turtle in Paradise is about a young girl named Turtle, who has an unknown father, and a mother who is always out of a job thanks to kids.
Her mother, Sadiebelle is a housekeeper, and her clients' kids are always getting Turtle into trouble, which leads to her mother being fired.
Then Turtle's mom gets a job working for a lady who hates kids. So Turtle leaves to Key West, Florida to live with an aunt she never met, along with rotten boy cousins.
Everyone there seems to know Turtle, saying she is the spitting image of her mother (she really isn't). There's Mercury hot weather, a Weeping Ghost, and even Black Caesar's mysterious buried treasure!
Turtle in Paradise is a Newbery Honor, and it is a favorite of mine.
I'm a very big fan of Newbery Honor books.
Turtle in Paradise is a great book, I love it, and YOU should too.
So read it!! ;)
