With a handmade canoe called L'tle Possum, Jack Hawkins sets out on a solo adventure in the wilds of the Okefenokee Swamp in search of the mythical Paradise Island. He never finds Paradise Island, but he does stumble across some very unusual mysteries:

- A "here-again, gone-again" Airedale named Dizzy, just like his own dog back home
- A mamma bear sitting dead under a tree
- An abandoned raft, a basket, and a porcelain plate
- The repeating leeri leeri of an eerie swamp monster

Are these things real or the doings of a swamp poltergeist? And then there's one final discovery that will leave Jack reeling as he is forced to question the truths of his own past . . . and the possibilities of the world he left behind.

In the tradition of her great classics for children -- JULIE OF THE WOLVES and MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN -- Jean Craighead George has created an adventure story that is filled with the captivating details of survival and the beauties of a natural world made for exploration and self-discovery.
