Legends of the Swamps: A Mess of Fish: A Mess of Fish

Book Two in the: Legends of the Swamps: series. "What's happening to me?" Julien questions his uncle. Uncle Frank knows, but he isn't telling. Julien's visions are becoming more real than his waking reality, and the secret of his visions are locked away in his ancient uncle's tales. But will he survive them long enough to find out what's really going on? Visiting with Uncle Frank is always a good time; he has character, age, and wisdom... plus lots of good stories! Inside his mind are chapters and chapters of family history... those of the Kacey Clan and the Indian tribe, plus new members - both blood related and not. The post-Civil War tales keep the teenagers intrigued... those of the Indian, Irish, English, African and German descendants who make this untamed land their own. The rich heritages they were born with intermingle with each other's and forge a new breed of peoples called Americans. Still, the one question the teens all want an answer to is the one of the Alligator King. Elusive and seemingly uncatchable, everyone wants to know who he is... Imagine if you will, a swampy setting and an old man puffing away on cherry-soaked tobacco. He speaks of yesteryear as if it were yesterday... and puts you right in the middle of every situation with his ability to draw you in with no more than a puff of smoke and a heavy Cajun accent.
