[ 4.0 stars ] "This was a good read - hard to put down. It's about a family who own and run an alligator park on an island in the swamp in the Everglades. The mother has died, the father (the Chief) is deeply in debt but tries to keep things running. The three teenage children - Kiwi, Ossie, Ava - each take charge of their lives in their own way when one of the Chief's trips to the mainland extends in ..." Courtesy by Amazon
