Black Turtle

About the Book

A group of hippy nudists are reported to be swimming in the raw up near a local hot spring and, as might be expected, many of the more conservative townsfolk of Liberty are alarmed by this revelation. Pastor John Wilson leads the fight to save Liberty from permissive outside influences, but experiences a little alien intervention along the way. Convinced that he has received a revelation from the Almighty Himself, the pastor must convince his parishioners that the hippies aren't so bad after all and that, in fact, they should be emulated in certain ways.

Patrick, James, and Sawyer are boys who live in Libery who meet some of the hippy boys and form a friendship with them. They share many adventures along with the pastor's son, Brandon, and another boy from the church named Jake. Together they discover the truth behind Pastor John's conversion experience, but that doesn't stop them from having a lot of fun just the same. Somehow, despite all these disruptive events, the boys must still complete their science fair projects.

Will Pastor John start a new religion? Will he be ousted as pastor of the largest church in Liberty? Can the boys complete their science fair projects on time? How can so much controversy revolve around peaceful, relaxing hot springs? Come have a blast with the boys as they learn about the pleasures and dangers of hot springs!
