Synopsis
If you liked To Kill A Mockingbird you'll love Summer Lightning and the irrepressible cigarette-smoking, redheaded truant named Terry and called Little Hawk by his friend, Old McCree. Together they prowl the Everglades in search of rattlesnakes, epiphytes, and adventure, until the law and society change their lives forever. Summer Lightning has been printed in 15 languages since 1978, and will soon be a motion picture.
