Turtle in Paradise: The Graphic Novel by Jennifer L. Holm, Savanna Ganucheau

4.0

I've had the novel version of this on my to-read shelf for quite a while because it's a Newbery Honor book, but have never quite gotten around to it, so when I saw this graphic novel format I was very excited. As is the case with most graphic novels, this was a quick read. Set during the Great Depression, this was a real but hopeful look at a little girl's life in a new place as she learns to come into her own. She hangs out with a rag-tag group of boys and gives them a run for their money.
I may yet come back to the original novel version, but I thoroughly enjoyed this graphic novel adaptation.
