Will loves turtles but hates it when kids call him Turtle Boy. He also hates hospitals. So why does Will’s mom think visiting a kid in the hospital will help bring him out of his shell — and what if he’d rather stay in it?

For fans of Wonder!

Review by Ally

If you like the books Wonder and One for the Murphys, then this is the kind of book for you. It's about a boy named Will who faces a lot of challenges in his life. Then he comes down to a decision: betray his friend who may not have so long left or step out of his comfort zone to make his friend’s dreams come true. What will he choose?

Review by caracalwildcat

Such a sad book but i kinda liked it. but I don't have words to say how sad this book is. It does have a little death in it .So I don't think that this a great book for kids under the age of 8.

Turtle Boy🐢

Review by bookchat

Turtle Boy is a very touching story. It teaches us not to be afraid to try new things. Will is a very special friend I wish I had one like him.
