Esio Trot Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake "I wanted to read this book because Roald Dahl is my favorite author, because he mixes funny stories with a little scary stories at the same time; and there's lots of adventure in them. Esio Trot is about a man that kind of likes a girl, but the girl gives all her love to a turtle named Alfie. Then the girl, named Mrs. Silver, asks the boy, Mr. Hops, to try to make her turtle grow because he was only 13 oz. and he was five years old. So Mr. Hops said that he had learned a # he had got a paper from a tribe that took care of turtles -- an Indian tribe. So he read it to the turtle, and it started with "Esio Trot, Esio Trot," and that's how they got the title. It said that because in turtle language, they spell everything backwards, and "Esio Trot" spelled backwards is "tortoise." So it started with, "Tortoise, tortoise." I think it's a good book for kids of like 7 to 12. I would probably give it about 4½ stars."
