Description

A young tortoise's perilous journey begins when he is taken from his island home and placed on board a convict ship bound for Australia in 1861. Alone and frightened, he soon finds himself cared for by a convict boy named Tom Carey. As their friendship grows, Leopold discovers that Tom harbours a secret, putting his life in danger. The voyage to Australia becomes a matter of survival as they face the menacing prison guard, a major catastrophe, and the kindness of Officer Meade. Will Tom and Leopold overcome their challenges and find a way for Tom to clear his name?
