The best I've read in a very long time!

I read this book and totally loved it. Being a Florida native, I enjoyed the references to Florida landmarks that I have grown up knowing. I was unable to put it down and suggested that my 13 year old son read it over the summer. However x-box and computer games seemed more interesting to him. Now that he is in 8th grade, his very first assignment is to read this book. He now can't put it down either. I smile when I see him reading without being told to do so. Patrick Smith captured the real Florida and captured my heart as a real fan. If you ever want to visit a real Florida Cracker Farm, go to www.Morningsidefarm.com in Gainesville Florida. The location of this farm is not too far from the original hammock that the MacIveys lived on in Chapter One.

Should be required reading..

This book, a novel, should be required reading for Florida middle/high school students. Period. And, for those who live in Florida who are the least bit curious about the history of their state, one of the most peculiar in the union, this easy and mesmerizing book will have readers flipping to a map over, and over, again, searching for geographic mentions which correspond to today's maps. This historic novel is an example of the "I can't put it down" gendre'.

At 10 times any asking price, this book is worth a buy - and the reader will recommend it to a friend and pass it on, I guarantee.

He really brought home what life was life in early Florida. The writing style was a bit unusual, but his characters were real, and the story fascinating. It's a don't miss read.
