Not your typical heroes or villains...

You'd be hard up to find another story where heroes like swamp gators face villains like the churn-turners. In this tale--laden with imagination and humor--Dixie has found some not-too-popular critters to bring home. Her mother and Grandpappy don't exactly welcome them! However, a little Southern mythology comes to life in this tale when the un-welcome visitors save the day. Even Grandpappy couldn't complain when he saw how the squirmy snake saved his chompers from the bogeyman!
