(2) 4-6 Ten-year-old Bones narrates this story vividly set in the Florida Everglades in 1949. When some "low-down land-grabbin' Yankees" show up, Bones and her parents fear for their way of life. And when one of the Yankees is reported missing, suspicions quickly fall on her father. The characters are endearing, and the tale is a rich stew, including hearty dollops of mystery and suspense.
