Turtle Boy is a great book about friendship. Will is the main character who deals with health problems, bullies, and a lot of fear. Will meets RJ in the hospital, he has his own health issues. Eventually these two people come together and overcome challenges.

This is my favorite book. It's so sweet. I cried, I laughed, I smiled. Turtles are my favorite animal but aside from that this book is so amazing. The main character struggles with mental health issues and with the help of a friend he overcomes it. Be prepared to cry is your emotional.

Such a good book definitely recommend it.

This was a sad story with a happy ending.

"Turtle Boy" is an outstanding novel. The main character is a young boy nicknamed “Turtle Boy.” He was given this name because he loves turtles, but also, he seems to never come out of his shell. In the beginning of the novel, we learn that Turtle Boy is Jewish and will be celebrating his Bar Mitzvah soon. His whole life changes when his rabbi tells him that he must do 36 hours of community service to prepare for his Bar Mitzvah. Many people are unable to relate to a shy child and reading about the experiences from Turtle Boy's point of view, was truly a game changer. I recommend reading "Turtle Boy" because it has a great lesson in the end, and the main characters’ development in the story was magical.
