Slo Poke! You There Buddy‪?‬

Lester Hope is an eleven-year-old boy with a mind for trivia and a turtle for a best—and only—friend. While privately dissatisfied that his skills and knowledge fail to extend into the realm of human interaction, Lester has made peace with his reality. He is comfortable in his routine and fears change, seeing far more opportunities for life to get worse than better. Lester fully expects to live out the remainder of his school years blending into the background … until his well-meaning parents inform him it is time to make other plans.
