This book is long but it is very good.

This book is heartwarming. The middle was sad and the end was really good even though I cried. I learned more about tortoises too!

Enjoyed reading it!

It is very exiting and interesting.

I like this book because Will powers through all of the things that he is not looking forward to in this book. I also like how he becomes friends with RJ, and how he teaches Will how to play the drums. Will loves turtles, and actually collects them! Will has his bar mitzvah in this book, too. His school has an area out back called the Back 40, which is like a small forest behind the school. Will loves spending time in the Back 40. Lots of interesting things happen in this book, which is why you should definitely read it!
