Freddie Fastback, whose name and quest evoke sports car models of the 1960's and key-clamped roller skates of the same era, arrives in this brave new world with profound zest thanks to the combined efforts of Idaho friends who have rallied behind him.
Review of Freddie Fastback and his
Friends
Freddie is a turtle who is
decidedly not fast. Until he finds an old-fashioned roller skate
(the ones you used to attach to your shoes, remember those?) — and
then he's off for adventure. And learning that slow isn't that bad.
It's a cute story.
The artwork is just amazing — all painted. With so many details that adult readers will find fascinating to look for as much as the younger set. It's a winner.
