""Tortuga" is one of those rare works that speaks to the human condition across time and space, and it well-deserves to find a new generation of readers."

"A highly emotional tale of a young soul who turned from a turtle into a human all within the span of 200 pages."

"Explores the significance of pain and suffering in a young boy's life and the importance of spiritual recovery as well as medical."
