Set during the Great Depression, Turtle is an eleven-year-old girl who has been sent to live with her aunt and her crew of boy cousins. While the boys try to keep Turtle out of their Diaper Gang, she worms her way into the hearts of family members she has just met (even several she hasn’t met before). The group of cousins goes on an adventure to find a pirate’s treasure, where their relationship is forever cemented.
