High Profile Tortoise to Release 1st Book in April, 2012

March 15, 2012 - PRLog -- About a year ago, media in Denver, CO, including the People’s Magazine, Channel 7 News, Channel 9 News, The Denver Post and Daily Camera covered an unusual story about a tortoise that went missing and was eventually found. The tortoise’s name was Lucy and Lucy the Tortoise – My Big Adventure is her story as told by her in a first-person narrative.  The book, targeting children between the ages of four and nine, is set to be pre-released April or May 2012.

In the book, Lucy narrates how she was lured from her backyard by a bunny and in her adventure she meets many interesting characters who teach her about family, crossing the street, fires and many more.  Her story though takes a turn when a car stops on the road she is crossing and she is thrown into a lake. Lucy, being a tortoise, cannot swim.  Lucy gets rescued from the lake and this is where she notices a post on the fence with her picture saying LUCY IS MISSING. Then she hears someone calling her name. It is a cameraman from the news station! Unfortunately, the cameraman walks the other way and she still does not make it back home. Lucy then smells some wheat grain from a local feed store and begins walking towards the store. As she begins eating someone else picks her up and Lucy becomes scared once again.

Interested readers can visit Lucy’s website time to time to read bits of her book before it is released in a month or two or can like her Facebook (she has nearly 4,000 followers) page to keep updated on book progress, trivia and pictures. This book is an excellent read of adventure that puts the imagination into full gear.
