A graphic novel adaptation of the beloved, bestselling Newbery Honor-winning novel.\r\n\r\nEleven-year-old Turtle is smart and tough and has seen enough of the world not to expect a Hollywood ending. After all, its 1935 and money--and sometimes even dreams--is scarce. So when Turtles mother gets a job housekeeping for a lady who doesnt like kids, Turtle heads off to Florida to live with relatives. Floridas like nothing Turtles ever seen before, though. Its full of ragtag boy cousins, family secrets to unravel . . . and even a little bit of fun. Before she knows whats happened, Turtle finds herself coming out of her shell. And as she does, her world opens up in the most unexpected ways.\r\n\r\nInspired by family stories, three-time Newbery Honor winner Jennifer L. Holm blends family lore with Americas past in this charming gem of a novel, now adapted into graphic novel form by rising star Savanna Ganucheau.
