ABOUT THE BOOKS:
Search for Treasure
Jake Potter is back on Dewees Island for another summer at his grandmother’s house on the remote Dewees Island, where there are no roads, no cars, and no stores. This time, his latest adventure with his best friends, Macon and Lovie, is a mission to find buried treasure somewhere on the island, while battling some unwelcome guests on the island, of both the two- and four-legged kind! On the three friends’ biggest quest yet, they realize that the treasures they really want in life were with them all along.
Mr. Gator Hits the Beach
Bored Mr. Gator accepts a surprise invitation to vacation on Bull Island. But while he's traveling up the Intracoastal Waterway, Mr. Gator meets Lilly, the loggerhead sea turtle. Intrigued by her talk of the ocean, Mr. Gator follows Lilly to the Atlantic but—trouble awaits in this latest adventure of the Mr. Gator series.
