In this middle-grade mystery-adventure, a twelve-year-old girl discovers a grave injustice in the 1980s South when a neighbor is convicted of a crime he didn’t commit. Penny must find the courage to use her unique gift – her uncanny ability to foresee the future – to thwart a crazed desperado and find a treasure that will prove her neighbor’s innocence.

Poor Penelope Andrews. Her neighbor is being hunted, her friend is comatose after encountering a rogue alligator in a black-water swamp, and her mother has formed the wild impression that Penny has some sort of special gift from God! What else could go wrong? Oh yes: the FBI wants to speak with her. And, a dangerous criminal is stalking her.

“The Secret of Maggie’s Swamp” tells the story of young Penny and the courage she shows in dealing with these dynamic issues.

It is an exciting read for children ages 8 through 12 and a pro-family story that will absorb young readers. Available in bookstores, on Amazon.com and from Brownridge Publishing.

169 pp.
