There are three things Will loves: turtles, the nature reserve behind the school, being left alone. And there is only one thing Will really hates: his chin.
Kids at school call Will Turtle Boy because of his funny-looking chin. But when Will meet RJ, he learns not everyone is his enemy. RJ has a bucket list of adventures which extends way beyond his hospital room and he needs help ticking them off.
Will may want to stay in his shell, but RJ is determined to push him right out of it. And for Will to take on what seems like an impossible mission, he’s going to have to be brave in more ways than one.
