Publisher's summary

School is out and summer has begun. For 11 year old Timmy Quinn and his best friend Pete Marshall, the dreary town of Delaware, Ohio becomes a place of magic, hidden treasure and discovery. But on the day they encounter a strange young boy sitting on the bank of Myers Pond, a pond playground, rumor saying it may hide turtles the size of Buicks changes everything.

For it soon becomes apparent that dark secrets abound in the little community, secrets which come cupped in the hands of the dead, and in a heartbeat, Timmy and Pete's summer of wonder becomes a season of terror, betrayal and murder.

Good paranormal mystery

Turtle Boy
By: Kealan Patrick Burke
Narrated by: Patrick Lawlor
Its a good paranormal mystery but it does have have child abuse mentioned. It is a fairly short book but has a lot packed into it. Suspense, good mystery, ghosts, and murder. Good narration!

cerebral suspense

from the eyes of a child, suspense that anyone can relate to, falls short of thriller as you maintain your adult suspicions until the end

Two 11 year old boys are telling this story. Looking for something to do, the boys run into some odd happenings.
