Inhaltsangabe

This is the fourth of five stories I wrote for my grandsons Dylan and Kemper while they were students at the Montessori School of Rome in Georgia. Their mother, Miss Dolores, was a schoolteacher there. This is an educational story intended for the fifth grade and older students. It features the same set of jungle characters as the previous stories and focuses on the flying experiences of Turtle TUTTLE - the new kid in school. He flies high over the jungle, chases a rainbow, and gets hopelessly lost. He spends the night trapped in tall grass where he landed after an exhaustive search for his home. He must chew his way out of the grass and find a jumping off place in a renewed search for his home. Finally, his bird friends find him and escort him back to the school for a joyous reunion with worried family and new friends.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

John Gargus, Colonel, USAF (retired), was a planner of the Son Tay Raid and a navigator aboard the MC-130 Cherry Two, leading the strike force to the POW camp. He has given innumerable speeches about the raid, including many with Lt. Gen. LeRoy Manor, Colonel Bull Simons, and other luminaries of that iconic special ops mission. Born in Czechoslovakia, he was smuggled by his parents at the age of 15 from that Soviet-dominated country behind the Iron Curtain to live with relatives in America. He is the author of the 2007 book, The Son Tay Raid: American POWs in Vietnam Were Not Forgotten, arguably the most detailed and authoritative book on the topic.
