Praise for this book
"A highly emotional tale of a young soul who turned from a turtle into a human all within the span of 200 pages."
"Explores the significance of pain and suffering in a young boy's life and the importance of spiritual recovery as well as medical."
""Tortuga" is one of those rare works that speaks to the human condition across time and space, and it well-deserves to find a new generation of readers."
"A compelling story of a young man who suffers and learns to make peace with who he is, "Tortuga" has that touch of magic, of fantastical characters, of dreams as real as sunlight, associated with the best of Chicano literature."
