The Turtle of Oman by Naomi Shihab Nye

4.5

Turtles are my favorite, so the title and the cover were the first to draw me in, but I stayed for the story. Aref does not want to leave his home in Oman and move to America for his parents to get their doctorates. He spends his time before the move spending time with his grandfather and his friends as he takes the time to say goodbye and have a new adventure.
