Captain Steve's Adventures: The Hiding Tree follows Captain Steve, Addison, Brody, and JD as they explore the boardwalks, swamps, and hidden corners of Historic Blakeley State Park in coastal Alabama. What begins as a search for a mysterious waterdog soon turns into an unforgettable adventure filled with hidden wildlife, local history, strange stories from the past, and the legendary Hiding Tree.
Along the way, readers discover fascinating facts about Delta animals, camouflage, survival adaptations, and the importance of slowing down long enough to notice the world around them. As mysterious figures appear among the trees and whispers of the past begin to surface, the group learns that nature - and history - still have many secrets waiting to be discovered.
Blending storytelling, science, history, humor, and hands-on bonus activities, The Hiding Tree encourages young readers to explore, observe, and develop a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
