Emma-Lee Palmer can’t decide whether to throttle her obnoxious cousin Coot or simply ignore the beast as he quickly wears out his welcome during an extended visit to her remote island home. Coot soon becomes the least of her worries as Emma-Lee encounters international intrigue and harrowing adventure on Florida’s untamed Merritt Island in 1905. Emma-Lee and her hilarious best friend Punkin are sucked into the middle of an island mystery involving a sinister arsonist, German scientist, Seminole Indians, and Alligator Alice, a feisty gator trapper. If you liked Emma-Lee and Punkin’s first adventures in The Distant Shore, you’ll love this new round of fun, mystery, and budding romance.

This book was given to me by one of my best friends and it came to me highly recommended by her. It is a lovely story of the power of prayer and having faith in God, it also teaches us about forgiveness, second opportunities and getting to know people for who they are, not what they look like. It is a really sweet story and when is told in the voice of a kid, it really makes you think about life and what you might want to do with yours.
