Return to the wonderful world of Newbery Honor Book Turtle in ParadiseÂ through the eyes of Turtleâ€™s cousin Beans!

Five Starred Reviews!
A New York Public Library Best Book for Kids, 2016

Grown-ups lie. Thatâ€™s one truth Beans knows for sure. He and his gang know how to spot a whopper a mile away, because they are the savviest bunch of barefoot conchs (that means â€œlocalsâ€) in all of Key West. Not that Beans really minds; itâ€™s 1934, the middle of the Great Depression. With no jobs on the island, and no money anywhere, who can really blame the grown-ups for telling a few tales? Besides, Beans isnâ€™t anyoneâ€™s fool. In fact, he has plans. Big plans. And the consequences might surprise even Beans himself.

"A surprising coming-of-age story with a remarkably honest message."Â â€”The New York Times

"[Holm] captures this colorful slice of Depression history with her usual vivacious wit. . . . Children will love Beans."Â â€”Shelf Awareness, Starred

"Multifaceted supporting characters . . . are all seen through Beanâ€™s refreshingly honest eyes and create a novel as entertaining as the motion pictures he loves to see."â€”The Horn Book Magazine,Â Starred

â€œInspired by actual events, Holmâ€™s talent for writing historical fiction is on full display. . . . Interesting family and small-town dynamics further enrich this fascinating account of a young boyâ€™s life in Floridaâ€™s â€˜Recovery Key.â€™â€Â â€”Booklist,Â Starred

"Filled with humor, heart, and warmth; readers can only hope to hear more about the Curry clan."Â â€”Kirkus Review, Starred

"Entertaining and illuminating historical fiction."Â â€”Publishers Weekly, Starred
