Okefenokee

A great cover.

At the age of 12, I read this book. I loved it and remember it still.

It was about a boy who explored a swamp near his home. As a child I explored the mangrove swamp near my home- sand and mud and tides and fish and birds and crabs and snakes. I even found a stash of stolen goods and cash once -but I will save that story.

Now my swamp has been filled in and multi-storey mansions built over it. The area is barely above sea level and will likely flood as the sea levels rise.
