This book was enlightening and touching to the soul. I've felt deep connections with all of the characters and enjoyed discussing the themes with friends. We read this book together and felt understood and represented. We all think that every young person should read the Turtle Town series. We especially felt drawn to this book because there were minimal to none errors, promoting spending time on your work. The editors, especially Annie Jones, did an incredible job making this book be clear and sticking with some themes of shark finning is bad and that dreams are cool. Great job, team! Much love.

This book was really enlightening and I felt very connected with these characters. My friend edited this book and I think that she and Melissa did a wonderful job with this book. I felt very drawn to this book and and really loved. I think everyone who worked on it did an incredible job with it.
