About the book
Another whimsical book by author Roald Dahl. Mr. Hoppy is in love with Mrs. Silver, but she doesn't even know he's alive. The only one she has eyes for is her pet tortoise, Alfie. How can Mr. Hoppy get her to notice him? Why, with magic, of course! An ancient spell, and 140 special tortoises are just the tools he needs ― because the way to Mrs. Silver's heart is through her tortoise!
