Fresh out of juvie for arson, sixteen-year-old Mazie is abandoned by her bitter Aunt Deb minutes after she'd signed for Mazie's release. While living on the streets and drawing flash for a tattoo shop, Mazie learns that Samantha, the daughter of the firefighter killed in the flames Mazie started, has disappeared. When she finds out a serial kidnapper is on the prowl, and that Samantha is likely one of his victims, Mazie hunts for clues that could save Samantha from becoming the next body to wash ashore. But finding Samantha means NOT laying low--a risky gamble since Mazie is already on the run for crimes she didn't commit.
INSTA-GATOR Picture Book 697 words
Cray’s rowdy bayou brothers are the instigators in the family and take advantage of Cray, expecting him to clean up their messes like a Cajun Cinder-fella. But when Cray finds a hoodoo egg containing gator dust, he trades in his dustpan for a sharp set of teeth and eyes that can hunt underwater. Cray's jazzed about being an Insta-Gator and gives his brothers a taste of their own potion. But when the fun of the gumbo hogging, floor flooding, and cat chasing wear thin, Cray must decide whether it's all worth leaving his brothers with the blues.
