Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Billie Wind lives with her Seminole tribe. She follows their customs, but the dangers of pollution and nuclear war she's learned about in school seem much more real to her. How can she believe the Seminole legends about talking animals and earth spirits? She wants answers, not legends."You are a doubter,"say the men of the Seminole Council and so Billie goes out into the Everglades alone, to stay until she can believe. In the wilderness, she discovers that she must listen to the land and animals in order to survive. With an otter, a panther cub, and a turtle as companions and guides, she begins to understand that the world of her people can give her the answers she seeks. "Billie Wind is disciplined for doubting the beliefs of her Seminole tribe. She chooses her punishment--to journey into the Florida Everglades until she hears the animal gods who talk. . . . The conservation message grows naturally out of the excitement of the survival adventure story."--"The New York Times."
