From the publisher

Set prior to the Civil War, these tales reveal the mysteries, legends, and dangers of plantation life in the Deep South. The stories center on the friendship of two twelve-year-old boys and were inspired by the actual events at South Carolina's grand Hampton Plantation.

A daring, mischievous boy, Cart is the son of the plantation owner and is anxious to become a man. His best friend, Will, is the son of slaves and lives in the caretaker's house on the plantation with his family.

Together with their puppy and pet deer, the boys set out to explore the plantation. Among their adventures, Cart and Will boldly protect a rice crop from hurricane damage, eagerly learn the mysterious powers of a beetle bracelet, and narrowly escape an alligator's jaws when their boat tips over. In this world of suspense and delight, the boys strengthen their friendship and acquire an understanding of plantation life.

About the author

Nancy Rhyne is the award-winning author of several books and one of the most popular regional writers in the country. She strives to introduce children to the heritage of their area through local folklore and legends that are designed to inspire children to learn about their own surroundings as well as to entertain them with delightful stories of children, much like themselves, caught in some very unusual circumstances. A resident of Murrells Inlet, Rhyne is a sought-after speaker and storyteller throughout the region. She lectures to school groups, conventions, civic organizations, and other groups who enjoy her tales of the South Carolina Low Country, plantation life in the 1800s, and most recently, the intriguing tale of the infamous creature believed to be half human and half lizard that roams the lowlands. Rhyne holds memberships in the National Federation of Media Women, the South Carolina Media Women, and the National Association for the Perpetuation and Preservation of Storytelling. She was born in Mt. Holly, North Carolina, and attended Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory, North Carolina. Rhyne has appeared in the past on national television, preserving the legends and folklore of her home state, and has become an expert on the history and folklore of the coast of South Carolina through her years of research and writing.
