Escape from the Everglades is the first book in the High Water series and blends contemporary mystery and suspense, dramatic situations, and high adventure that both boys and girls will love.
A park ranger’s son hates the Everglades, and he thinks he’ll just die if he doesn't escape Southern Florida soon . . . and he’s right. After Parker Buckman is mauled and nearly killed by an alligator, he sees the glades as a place of death. All he wants to do is get out of the area, and he’s convinced he won’t truly be okay until he does. But he can’t leave until he finds a friend who goes missing.
Escaping a bad situation isn’t a matter of a geographical change. Sometimes the best way to a brighter future is to face the darkness of your past.

Intense
I bought this for my 12-year-old who loves mysteries. But the detail of the alligator attack was so vivid that she had night mares and cannot continue reading it.

Fun, exciting and unpredictable
My daughter and I have enjoyed this book. We love to read together even though she is 12, almost 13. We have enjoyed discussing what happens to Parker, how Wilson is not a Christian and how Angelica is no Angel. Can't wait to get our hands on book #2. This is a great novel for any young teen.
