What happens when a curious little pet tortoise leaves the warmth of her home-and the girl, dog, and cat who adore her-to explore the big, wide world?
Carmen may be small, but her dreams are anything but. One sunny afternoon, she slips past the garden fence, leaving behind her loving human, Hanna, and her loyal companions-the gentle dog who watches over her and the playful cat who keeps her company.
Beyond the fence, the world is wilder than Carmen ever imagined. From crossing busy streets to escaping curious wild animals, this brave little tortoise discovers that the world is full of excitement, surprises-and a few scary moments too.
As the sun begins to set and the world grows colder and darker, Carmen realizes just how far she's wandered. Will she find her way back to Hanna, and the dog and cat who are searching for her? Or has her great adventure taken her too far from home?
Carmen's Big Adventure celebrates:
- The bond between pets and children.
- The importance of friendship and kindness.
- Courage, responsibility, and learning from mistakes.

- A Fun Facts Page about tortoises at the end.
