A twelve-year-old girl must manage 70 alligators and her own grief while trying to save her family's gator-wrestling theme park from a sophisticated competitor. Her mother has just died, her sister is having an affair with a ghost, her brother defected, and her father is missing. To save them, Ava journeys to the "Underworld" and emerges a true heroine. A poignant and thrilling story set in the Florida Everglades.
