Staff Pick
I would not be at all exaggerating to say I loved this book. It's charming, funny, and has a tortoise as one of the main characters. The other main character, Oddly (otherwise known as Audrey), is a social misfit with a penchant for list-making and a great fear of flying, which has lingered even through years of home therapy (complete with replica interior of airplane in basement).
Will Winnifred the Tortoise find her was back to Oddly? Will Oddly get past her fear of flying and the family heartache that is revealed to her? I am not telling. Read this book now and then again as a Christmas season treat for extra heart-warming feelings.
(Spolier Alert: There are Christmas light metaphors).
