When you try to make a difference...

it might cost you your life.

After everything that's happened, Grace moves to the Everglades to live with her grandmother, Birdee, and her obnoxious parrot. Grace befriends Dylan and Sadie, die-hard teen activists who protest against the sketchy roadside zoos.

One day while out in the Everglades, Grace and her new friends rescue an injured Florida panther that leads them to Uncle Bob's, an illegal roadside zoo filled with exotic animals. Unfortunately, they are caught by the ruthless owner and dragged deep into the Everglades for a hunting challenge - where they are the prey.

During a sick game of cat and mouse, the owner offers them one chance at survival - escape the Everglades before he hunts them down. Against all odds, Grace must find a way to escape before time runs out.

"The author has achieved a stunning, high-tension tale that takes the reader on a journey over rough terrain as it follows a young girl's quest to find the truth and protect the sanctity of a national park and the animals that owe their survival to it." - Kirkus Reviews

"Grace is a spunky, independent, nature girl. With wilderness survival, a juicy love triangle, and more twists and turns than a roller coaster, this fast-paced series keeps me holding my breath until the last page!" - Kimberly Derting, author of The Body Finder series
