Ava and the Alligator: The Nest in the Sawgrass: Book 1 of the Ava and the Alligator Trilogy

By Camille Dyell

Ava and the Alligator: The Nest in the Sawgrass
An Everglades adventure about courage, curiosity, and a baby alligator in trouble.
For early readers ages 6-8

When Ava's family drives deep into the Florida Everglades, she's hot, itchy, and not happy about any of it. The bugs are loud, the grass is taller than her head, and worst of all-there's no Wi-Fi. But everything changes when she spots something small and green moving in the sawgrass...

It's a baby alligator-alone, tangled, and chirping for help.

With the guidance of a kind tour guide and a little courage of her own, Ava helps rescue the baby gator and return him to his hidden nest. Along the way, she learns that sometimes the wildest places hold the biggest surprises.

This heartwarming early chapter book is perfect for young animal lovers and kids who are just starting to explore longer stories. Book One of the Ava and the Alligator trilogy.
