9781732010307: Alligators Overhead

Synopsis

Pete Riley’s just found out he has magical powers, but he’s flanked by angry alligators on one side and a powerful witch out for revenge on the other. Will his twelfth birthday be his last? Alligators, witches and spooky mansions aren't your average neighbors unless you live at the edge of the Ornofree swamp in the backwater town of Hadleyville. Pete’s the town's bad boy, and he may only be a kid, but he's up to his eyeballs in big trouble. Strangely, this time he isn't the cause. This time the trouble arrives when a legendary hundred-year-old mansion materializes next door and the Ornofree alligators declare war to save their swamp from bulldozers. Things only get worse when Pete's guardian aunt vanishes while trying to restore order using outdated witchcraft. Now Pete must find his aunt and stop the war. He might stand a chance if his one friend, Weasel, sticks with him, but even then, they may not have what it takes.

À propos de l'auteur

I’m C. Lee McKenzie, and Italia Gandolfo represents my young adult novels. You can connect with me on my blog http://cleemckenziebooks.com and receive a free gift. Come see me soon. Double Negative (Evernight Teen, 2014) is a book that turned me into an advocate for literacy. Sudden Secrets(Evernight Teen, 2014) is my fourth young adult novel. I wrote Sliding on the Edge (WestSide Books, 2009) after reading a news article about "self-abuse" among ivy league students. The Princess of Las Pulgas (WestSide Books, 2010) deals with a young girl and her family. They have everything and suddenly nothing. I also write for middle-grade readers, and I've just completed a trilogy about the adventures of Pete and Weasel. Book #1 Alligators Overhead, Book #2 The Great Time Lock Disaster, and Book #3 Some Very Messy Medieval Magic (Spring 2018). Sign of the Green Dragon is a stand alone latest adventure/fantasy with a lot of five-star reviews to its credit. I'm a native Californian, and after living a lot of different places in the world I landed back in my native state on the edge of a redwood forest. When I'm not writing or blogging I'm hiking or practicing yoga. Then there's that half acre of garden that needs a lot of love. If you like my books I'd love it if you'd tell me so. If you have some helpful criticism, I'd love that, too! I'm a writer and a reader, but first I'm a learner. Thanks for visiting today, and thanks for whenever you leave a review with your thoughts.
