Description
To rescue a friend, a girl ventures into the perilous waters of the Louisiana bayou in this gripping entry in the historical fiction middle grade Survivors series.
No one in Lily LeGrand's Cajun community is willing to help search for Paul Courville, who is missing in the bayou along with his mean-spirited older brothers, William and Mark. Why should they? Paul's wealthy plantation owner father has made no secret of his disdain for Cajuns. But Paul has always been kind to Lily, defending her against his brothers' merciless taunts and humiliating pranks?and Lily refuses to turn her back on him when his life is in danger.
On her own in the maze of the dangerous bayou, Lily knows she has more to fear than her father's wrath. Her treacherous journey through water infested with snakes and alligators will test both her knowledge of the swamp and her courage. Can she find Paul before it's too late?
