Holm, most known for her Babymouse series, has created a charming and quirky piece of historical fiction with
Turtle in Paradise. The story takes place in the Florida Keys and introduces the reader to a delightful group of young boys who make their extra cash by taking care of the babies. When the new girl in town becomes part of their activities, things become very interesting. Throw in a pirate's treasure, a con man, and a spooky old lady and you have all the elements of a great read. This book was fun, interesting, and would make a great read-aloud.
