Escape from the Everglades

He needs to find his friend. But that means facing gators . . . again.
After Parker Buckman is mauled and nearly killed by an alligator in the Florida Everglades, he sees his new town as a place of death.

All he wants to do is get out of the area, and he's convinced he won't truly be okay until he does. When his park ranger father gets a transfer, Parker feels his escape is finally within reach.

But when a friend goes missing in the Glades, Parker knows he can't leave until he finds her--or proof she's really dead.

Parker's search takes him deep into the wilds, where he comes face-to-face with a rogue monster gator.

Will Parker ever escape the death-grip of the Glades? Or will he find the strength to break free? Sometimes the only escape from danger isn't running away but facing it head-on.
