Esio Trot By Roald Dahl

Esio Trot is a heartwarming and charming love story featuring Mr. Hoppy, a shy bachelor who lives alone in a tall building. He is secretly in love with his neighbor, Mrs. Silver, but she only has eyes for her pet tortoise, Alfie. 

When Mrs. Silver expresses her wish for Alfie to grow faster, Mr. Hoppy devises a brilliant and elaborate plan involving a magical "backward" spell—"Esio Trot" is "tortoise" spelled backward—and one hundred and forty other tortoises to win her heart.
