Publisher's Synopsis
In the mysterious waterways of 1960s Florida, fourteen-year-old Jimmy's life changes forever when a routine boat ride leads to an extraordinary encounter that defies everything he thought he knew about the world.
Deep in the secluded waters of the Tomoka River, where ancient cypress trees guard age-old secrets, Jimmy discovers that the local legends about strange creatures in the swamp might not be just stories after all. His accidental discovery launches him into a hidden world that exists parallel to his own - one filled with gentle giants, river folk with incredible secrets, and friendships that transcend the ordinary.
As Jimmy navigates between his normal life as a physician's son and his adventures in this newfound realm, he learns that some secrets are worth keeping, some friendships can change the world, and sometimes the most incredible stories are the ones that can never be told.

Set against the backdrop of Florida's wild rivers and mysterious swamps, this heartwarming story reminds us that magic often exists just beyond the edges of our everyday world - if we're brave enough to look for it.
