Within Emerald Forests — Heather Hamel

When Ian's parents dropped him and his two older sisters off for the summer with their eccentric aunt and uncle in Florida, he knew this was going to be his best summer ever. After all, how many kids get to spend the summer miles from civilization and with an uncle who has a hook for a hand?

Even after being told they were in some sort of a crypto-zoological vortex where hornless unicorns and goblins are considered normal, Ian wanders off into the woods after a fight with one of his sisters. Lost, sweaty, and shoeless Ian comes face-to-face with another legend: the Florida Skunk Ape.

Will Ian find his way back or will the swamp become his new home?
