The Turtle Who Refused to Be a Pet

By Sabbir Joarder

Yalina always dreamed of having a pet - but she never expected her new turtle to have such big opinions. Sir Shelldon isn't cute and cuddly. He isn't quiet and obedient. In fact, he insists he's not a pet at all. He's a "traveling philosopher" on a grand quest to find the legendary Pond of Perfect Stillness.

When Sir Shelldon's dramatic escape attempts keep failing, Yalina makes a surprising choice: she decides to help him. Together, the unlikely pair set off on weekend adventures, exploring ponds, parks, and wild places in search of destiny.

Along the way, Yalina discovers that even the slowest creatures can lead you to unexpected places - and that friendship sometimes grows in the most stubborn shells.

A funny, heartwarming tale about independence, curiosity, and the kind of friendship that chooses you right back
