The Turtle Trial

Meet the Reishus boys: brothers Randy, Mike and Johnny, and their cousins Oliver, Dickie and Tim. It's a sweltering summer day on Uncle Dick's Montana ranch. The boys go for a swim in the watering hole and discover a big snapping turtle at the edge of the pond. Randy ignores his cousin's warning and teases the turtle. The turtle bites him! What happens to the turtle after that? Is he guilty of a crime or was he simply defending himself? Find out how six boys decide a turtle's fate in this entertaining story based on the author's boyhood experiences. Comical illustrations fill the book with humor and bring all of the characters to life-especially the tormented turtle!
