Legends of the Swamps - Kimberly Thompson - Bog

Book One of the: Legends of the Swamps: series. It's almost the end of summer, and seventeen-year-old Julien is seated around the campfire with his sister and six cousins, waiting for Uncle Frank to begin his story. He's the best storyteller in Louisiana, and tonight he's got something really good-the story of the Alligator King. But first, he has to go back even further and tell another story-that of Eagle Hawk, who became a man and set off to follow his vision, where soon he meets a beautiful Irish girl and falls in love. "But what does this have to do with the Alligator King?" they all want to know. And Uncle Frank just puffs on his pipe and grins. The Alligator King is the first novel in the Legends of the Swamps series by Kimberly Thompson. The old (although no one knows exactly) Uncle Frank weaves fact with flair to create a tale worthy of a late-night campfire. Get caught up in the mystery as the boys and girls lean forward in their seats, ready to hear what happens next, begging to interrupt Uncle Frank and ask the question: did this really happen? You can decide for yourself, because this is where Uncle Frank's epic tale begins...
