Summer finally comes, allowing Austin Cook to return to the North Georgia Mountains and resume his adventures with the Schmooney named Sarah, a supposedly mythological animal that Austin has found to be very real. Very few people know of its existence. Austin not only knows about the Schmooney, however, he can communicate with it. In the first book of the trilogy, he discovered that Sarah was more than just an ordinary skunk when he learned to communicate with her. Little did he suspect that his ability would one day save his life. Austin plans to spend the summer at his Uncle Steve's, accompanied by his sister Katie for part of that time. He did not expect to have become a legend in his own right. But when he expresses his disapproval of a proposed land development project on the top of a nearby mountain, his opinions have consequences. Austin compares the proposed fifteen-story condominium to a woman with a flat top. The media and concerned citizens love the analogy, immediately adopting the image to launch their campaign to stop the project. But the owner of the land feels otherwise. The result is a dangerous adventure that will delight all fans of the fantastic Schmooney. Kids of all ages will love the continuing adventure of Austin and the Schmooney in this sequel, THE SPIRIT OF THE TURQUOISE NECKLACE. Indeed, Author Bob Shumaker creates a literary journey filled with unpredictable events, a fast-moving plot, and a fascinating visit to the North Georgia Mountains. Fans of the fantastical Schmooney will certainly delight in its return as they learn more about its abilities and gifts. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURQUOISE NECKLACE earns the WordWeaving Award for Excellence.
