About this ebook
When Albert makes a daring escape, Ava realises that tortoises might not be quite as boring as they seem in this gentle animal story from worldwide bestseller Holly Webb.
Ava thinks her 45-year-old tortoise, Albert, is the most boring pet ever. She can’t take him for walks or cuddle him, and he doesn’t even like pats! But when Auntie Grace’s dog frightens Albert with all his barking, Ava realises just how much she loves her tortoise.
Then, one day after school, she comes home to find a great big hole under the fence — and no Albert! Will Ava be able to track him down and bring him home?
