Audrey (aka Oddly) Flowers is living quietly in Oregon with Winnifred, her tortoise, when she finds out her dear father has been knocked into a coma (or comma, as Audrey keeps calling it) back in Newfoundland. Despite her fear of flying, she goes to him, but not before she reluctantly dumps Winnifred with her unreliable friends, poor Winnifred. When Audrey disarms an air marshal en route to St’ John’s we begin to realize there’s something, well, odd about her. And we soon know that Audrey’s quest to uncover her father’s mysterious past- and reunite with Winnifred- will be anadventure like no other. Full of wordplay and hijinks, Come, Thou Tortoise sparkles like a brand-new set of retina-burning Christmas lights
