Griffin's search for fresh food for his old turtle brings new friends from the old neighborhood. Can they keep the paths open for a new generation of Turtle Crossing? Second in a three-book series of short novels for Middle-Grade readers, The A Kind of Magic series, Turtle Crossing continues the story of a boy's finding his place in the world by way of an eco-magical realistic bridge from fantasy to a world in which magic is probably kind of real. Science, art, music, math and a sense of community of many generations all turn out to be A Kind of Magic.
