A misunderstood girl with fire-red hair and brown skin is sent to the Low Country by her father. She'd been given to an organization where a woman was charged to break the curse off of her. But was 13-year-old Sadie cursed, or was the source of her powers coming from somewhere else? Did it have anything to do with a forest and a huge mountain? What about a hybrid frog and a bikini-wearing gator, plus hoards of other hidden creatures?
This Second Edition of Book 1 details secrets about Sadie's heritage not covered in the first Edition that garnered great reviews.

Book 2
But the author's imagination remains rich, with the denizens of Sadie Mae's mystical forest far from the fantasy clichés of elves and dragons (they include graceful "baby dinosaur-sized" green creatures that look like turtles and turn out to be Siamese twins). Sadie Mae is a relatable protagonist who messes up mightily and must deal with the consequences of her actions. Ultimately, she'll have to make an ethical decision that will challenge everything she's learned. A fun, inventive superhero tale with a brave teenage girl at its heart.
