Description
In the heart of the Florida Everglades, a young girl named Ava Bigtree must embark on a perilous journey into the mysterious "Underworld" of the swamp to save her family's legacy. The Bigtree alligator wrestling dynasty, once a thriving spectacle, faces ruin as a formidable rival encroaches upon their island home, Swamplandia!. With her mother gone, her sister entangled with a spectral figure, and her brother seeking refuge with the enemy, Ava finds herself alone, tasked with managing both a menagerie of alligators and her own profound grief. This novel masterfully blends the fantastical with the deeply human, exploring themes of family, loss, and the struggle to survive in a world that seems determined to pull you under.
