The Runaway Tortoise

Dyslexia friendly!

When Albert makes a daring escape, Ava discovers that tortoises might not be as boring as she once thought in this gentle, heartwarming animal story from worldwide bestselling author Holly Webb.

Ava thinks her 45-year-old tortoise, Albert, is the dullest pet ever–he doesn’t play, cuddle, or even enjoy a pat on the shell. But when Auntie Grace’s noisy dog gives Albert a fright, Ava realizes how much she truly cares for him.

Then, one afternoon, Ava comes home to find a big hole under the fence–and Albert gone! With determination and love, Ava sets out to find her runaway tortoise and learns just how special he really is.
