Turtle in Paradise

By Jennifer L. Holm

Turtle is an 11- year old girl whose mother is a housekeeper. When she takes a job with a woman who won’t allow children, her mother sends her to live with an aunt and several boy cousins in Key West, Florida. It is 1935, and times are hard on everyone. Turtle has to adjust to a very different way of living--and get along with her rowdy cousins and their friends.
