Bookroo's summary
Harriet the tortoise loves her slow-paced life on the Galápagos Islands. But when her friends urge her to speed up, she embarks on an adventure to a neighboring island. Parading with penguins and riding with dolphins, Harriet discovers a world of excitement. Yet, she must decide if the fast lane is truly her path. Will Harriet embrace the thrill, or return to her leisurely ways? Join her journey to find out.
From the publisher
Harriet the tortoise likes to do things slowly. She explores her home on the Galápagos Islands―slowly. She eats―slowly. And when the sun goes down, she slumbers deeply all night long.
When Harriet’s friends tell her to pick up the pace, Harriet decides to journey to a neighboring island to see what there is to see. She parades with penguins and rides with dolphins, encountering adventure at every turn. But is life in the fast lane right for a tortoise who loves to take her time?
