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 that Albert, her 45-year-old tortoise, is the most boring pet ever. She can't take him for walks or even cuddle him!

But when Auntie Grace's dog frightens Albert with all his barking, Ava comes home from school to find a great big hole under the fence — and no Albert!

Now that he's gone, Ava realises just how much she loves her tortoise. Will she be able to track Albert down and bring him home?
