ABOUT THE BOOK
Thirteen-year-old Ryan’s summer on a houseboat in the Atchafalaya Basin promises thrilling adventures. Joining his older cousin’s quest to find a sunken pirate ship of gold in the swamps, he’s drawn into an unpredictable journey.
Amidst the vast alligator-infested swamp of the late 1970s, their treasure hunt unveils mysteries, especially with Dennis, who seems to possess an unusual connection to alligators.
Only the enigmatic Rougarou, a wolf-like creature of local legend, adds an eerie element to their nocturnal pursuits.
