A review by rebecita
Turtle in Paradise by Jennifer L. Holm

2.0

This is one where I am scratching my head at the Newbery and the rave reviews. It was... fine? I guess I like my Depression era stories to have more grit and less hijinx. Minus one star for my personal historical fiction pet peeve, the celebrity cameo. We'll see what the fifth grade book group has to say about it.
