This first book in The House at Bent Creek Series, captures a summer in the life of a turtle named Alfred who lives with his family in a pond behind a country home belonging to a sweet elderly woman. When the woman's grandson comes to visit, Alfred's otherwise peaceful life is turned upside down and he must use all his courage, skill and wit to survive the encounter. This humorous and heart-warming tale is an ideal bedtime storybook that is sure to leave children wanting just one more chapter, eager to find out what will happen next. Along the way, they may learn a few things about turtles and, more importantly, about friendship, family and how to treat others.
Jack Dawson is a Canadian-born author with a passion for storytelling. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1984 and, after spending most of his career developing software and building companies, has finally found his true passion. Over the years, Jack rescued five turtles from a variety of potential perils and built an elaborate pond enclosure for them. In the process, he developed a fondness for the animals' and their way of life, imagining their perspective on the world around them.
