" A cute historical fiction about Key West during the Great Depression. Likable characters, adventure, probably more of a girl book. "

" Battle of the Books: During the depression in Key West before tourism, told by Turtle, a young spunky girl is sent to live with her aunt and a world she doesn't know at all. Loved that story was based on the author's family and island history...including Papa Hemingway himself... "

" Turtle is a sassy character and was fun to read about. I think my 6th graders will enjoy this book even with the references to earlier times-maybe especially with those references. The dry humor is outstanding. "

" I liked this book a lot. but...there was something that was missing. It was a little to easy read for me. "

" I really enjoyed this family story set in Key West during the Great Depression. Holm included tons of true elements from archives and her own family history that really added flavor to the story. I liked the variety in the characters and the fact that there was not a neatly wrapped ending. This one is going on my Newbery list. "

" This book could be read by all ages, but I would say starting at grade 5 if it was read to them. This book is a great story based in Key West. "

" Nicely written, lots of historical detail, well-researched... I'd hand it to fans of books like Bird Lake Moon by Kevin Henkes, The Higher Power of Lucky, etc. "
