Bartleby of the Mighty Mississippi

All Bartleby has known is the life of a pet. But when the boys who live with him watch a program on TV about turtles from the Mississippi River, Bartleby sees one with red ear bands just like his and is excited to think a great river may be his true home. Then the youngest boy accidentally leaves Bartleby at a nearby pond, and Bartleby must learn to hunt, make friends, and outsmart dangerous foes. But there is another discarded pet in the pond, a fierce alligator who hails from the Mississippi and wants to find his way back there. Can a small turtle hold his own with a gruff and growing alligator on a trip to the mighty river?
