about this book: No Alligators in Sight will take you on an unexpected journey, trailing in the footsteps of Lettie Endquist as she searches for "normal." This journey will be literal, from the tip of Cape Cod all the way to Key West, Florida, and it will be emotional as well, because what Lettie wants above all else is a family. She is thirteen years old, though at times she acts as if she's thirty, and that's because someone has to act like an adult for her younger brother, Bert, and she's the only candidate. But what if temptation beckons? Love? Music? Clothes? Everything a normal teenager wants? Follow Lettie and find out--you'll cheer for her all the way.

Here's what reviewers are saying about No Alligators in Sight:

• "Wow! What a powerful piece of writing. So powerful that I pretty much experienced the array of emotions the main character went through in the story!" — Kirstie, 5/5 stars, Amazon

• "In this story about growing, learning, and letting go, I laughed and even cried at times. While this was not a typical storyline for me I couldn't stop reading. I was fascinated by the in depth life the author has created for her characters." — Sarah Hoyt, 4/5 stars, Amazon
