Description
This is a powerful story of hope and friendship, inspired by the author's real-life story. Exploring self-image, family and grief, this book will make you laugh and cry. Perfect for fans of Wonder and The Goldfish Boy.
Twelve-year-old Will likes two things: turtles and the local nature reserve. Everything else is a nightmare, because Will has a facial difference that has earned him an unfortunate nickname. But when Will’s Bar Mitzvah community service project introduces him to RJ, a boy who is confined to a hospital room, Will discovers they both have strength to lend the other and that life is too short to live in a shell.
Advance Praise
'In an image-based world where appearance can feel as if it's everything, Turtle Boy is a gentle reminder that it absolutely is not…this story will open up the world for anyone brave enough to explore it.'
Onjai Q. Rauf, author of The Boy at the Back of the Class
