Please join us at the store on November 22nd, 2025 at 11 am for a special afternoon celebrating Hancock’s own turtle team, author Sy Montgomery and illustrator Matt Patterson, on their newest picture book, The True and Lucky Life of a Turtle — and to hear the inspiring real-life story of Fire Chief, a giant snapping turtle who they both had a hand in rescuing. Here is the true story of a very lucky turtle. His story began long ago when he was hatched from a very small egg on an autumn day. After decades of traveling between his summer pond behind the firehouse and his winter pond across the street, he never could have guessed that on one October day he would become unlucky . . .The amazing friends and challenges he met along the way are all chronicled by the Sibert Honor–winning duo behind "The Book of Turtles" in this tribute to the resilience and good luck of their dear friend, a very lucky turtle indeed.
