Summary: Turtle in Paradise is about an eleven year old girl named Turtle. She's and smart and hasn't cried since she was five.That's why her Momma named her Turtle- because she has a hard shell. She may be all that, but her Momma is just the opposite, as she always gets her heart broken from men that are liars. The book takes place in 1935 where times can be tough, and it sure is for Turtle and Momma. So when Turtles mother gets a house keeping job for a lady that hates kids, Turtle has no choice but to move to Key West, Florida to live with her aunt and cousins she's never even met. When she gets there, it's a lot different that what she expects-it's hot, and most people live in tiny houses or shacks. Besides that, Turtle finds things out and does things that she'd never think of doing before.

Review: This book was sooooo good!!!!! I really liked it because it is a historical novel so it helped me learn a lot about what people did back then. At the beginning of the book it was hard to get into but after i got through the first 20-30 pages it got really good. I would rate this book 4/5 stars because it wasn't my favorite book although it was very interesting.
