Summary
Turtle Moon transports the listener to Verity, Florida, a place where anything can happen during the month of May, when migrating sea turtles come to town, mistaking the glow of the streetlights for the moon.A young single mother is murdered in her apartment and her baby is gone. Keith, a 12-year-old boy in the same apartment building—the self-styled 'meanest boy' in town—also disappears. In pursuit of the baby, the boy and the killer, are Keith's divorced mother and a cop who himself was once considered the meanest boy in town. Their search leads them down the humid byways of a Florida populated almost exclusively by people from somewhere else; emotional refugees seeking sanctuary along the swampy coast.

“Turtle Moon” was the first Alice Hoffman book I ever read, and the quirky tale made me a lifelong fan. The characters are memorable and unique, and the whimsical, magical realism makes this story something special. While on the surface the novel is a suspenseful thriller, the unexpected images described by Hoffman are delightful…a boy so mean he cries pebbles, a lonesome ghost attached to the tree where he died, etc. Love this novel!
