Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Pete the Incredible Puffer: A Love Story in the Florida Keys is not only a gentle story about a humble, pudgy, spiny fish who became a hero, but also an introduction to the marine life of the Florida Keys, and an adventure story featuring three intrepid teenage explorers. Because he is surrounded by spectacular sea creatures, Pete believes that he is plain and ordinary. He also thinks that he does not have to worry about the predators and dangers that other fish face but he is mistaken, on both counts. One day, even though he is inflated, poisonous, and covered with spines for protection, Pete finds himself in a worrisome predicament. With courage and perseverance, Pete calls upon a unique talent to overcome adversity and help his friends. And he falls in love. Meanwhile, the three teens snorkel, camp, and explore reefs and islands from the Keys to the Dry Tortugas. They collect and release aquarium specimens, and are conscientious guardians of the endangered coral reefs. The book is intended to excite readers from the second grade and up, and to be read to smaller children. The characters' curiosity, energy, and kind-hearted initiatives are reminiscent of Tom Sawyer and Anne of Green Gables. Readers may be inspired to pursue independent adventures themselves, even in their back yards, knowing that frontiers like the coral reefs are waiting for them. The thirty-page book contains numerous color illustrations and photographs that attempt to capture the magnificence and diversity of the Keys: fish, sea turtles, live coral, birds, boats, and fortresses. The atmosphere is one of trust, responsibility, and mutual respect, against the beguiling background of a simple but rich lifestyle. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Murders on Cayo Costa is a thriller, a romance, and an adventure story set in the Florida Keys, in the Everglades, and on a magnificent barrier island in the Calusa Blueway near Sanibel and Captiva. Eighteen campers settle into their primitive cabins and, within twenty-four hours, a killing spree begins. The redoubtable Detective Gabriel Ortillo struggles to understand both the mayhem and absent-minded senior sleuth, Libera Grimaldi. He is smitten! But is she a victim or a killer? Kayaking, biking, and hiking, the campers discover prime tarpon fishing, crimes against manatees, and the island's historic past, unaware of a stalker among them. Their separate preoccupations with spectacular sunsets, leaping mullet, scurrying armadillos, wild pigs, and phosphorescent insects blind them to imminent danger. In solving this elegant and playful mystery, pay attention not only to the psychology of a determined killer, but also to the possible relevance of details such as cockpit widths and spray skirts, tram and ferry schedules, restroom layouts, the lunar cycle, and centipede tracks.
