The Runaway Tortoise - Holly Webb
Barrington Stoke
The Runaway Tortoise 🐢
By Holly Webb
Ava thinks Albert, her 45-year-old tortoise, is the most boring pet imaginable. You can't walk him. You can't cuddle him. He just... sits there.🐢
But then Auntie Grace's barking dog sends Albert running, literally. Ava comes home from school to find a hole under the fence and no tortoise. Suddenly, Albert doesn't seem boring at all. Suddenly, Ava realises just how much she loves him.
Now comes the real adventure: tracking Albert down and bringing him home.
Holly Webb has a gift for bringing animals to life on the page, and this gentle story shows that even the quietest, slowest pets can capture your heart in the most unexpected way🤍
Perfect for young readers who are discovering that pets aren't always what they seem.
