I guess I cannot figure out the train of thought on this
thread, sorry. Is the turtle story another one with
hidden books or movies, or are we just conversating??

In the piece with 5 classic books is another BONUS book, more modern than the others...there was (in brackets) a clue that I expanded for Candy...the book is from the world of the giant star turtle...as of now no-one has got the name of the book...

Nope.....just out of site, out of mind.
But if none of the ones mentioned above are it,
then I guess I am pretty mind-blown. But I did
get 4 of the 5. For me....awesome.
