Book Synopsis

A mystery envelope, a riddle, and time is running out...

A mysterious blue envelope appears for the kids of Coral Canal just before fall break. Inside is a riddle they must solve in only five days!

With no one, not even their parents, knowing who sent it, Avery, Marisa, Enrique, and their friends plunge into a riddle-based adventure. First, they visit a wildlife sanctuary, then set off on a last-minute trip to the Florida Everglades.

But Enrique is hiding a frightening secret, and Avery is torn between keeping her promise and getting him help. Then, while on a beautiful bike ride, disaster strikes. The kids of Coral Canal must rely on teamwork and face hard truths, discovering that solving the riddle may be about more than just the puzzle itself. Could God be teaching them lessons about courage, faith, and standing up for the people you love?

Fans of Christian mystery and adventure chapter books for kids, including The Secrets of the Hidden Scrolls and Imagination Station, will be captivated by Everglades Mystery. With riddles and faith-based lessons, this book is perfect for ages 7-12 and family read-alouds.

Parents say:

"Our son loves this book series! He's on the third book now, Island Enigma. He has a passion for the outdoors and we include these books in his homeschool curriculum!"

"Read this book out loud to my 7 year old son. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. It is part mystery, part adventure and 100% clean and fun! It is a must read for anyone who loves Jupiter and southeast Florida. Probably best for independent readers in 3rd-6th grades. Can't wait to read the next book in the series!"

"How refreshing to have a book written for this age without catty squabbles or the darker struggles of the world. We know our children will surely encounter those in time, but I'm glad there are still some authors who can craft an engaging story with more excellent things...such as joy, excitement and a real moral."
