The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp by Kathi Appelt




The true blue scouts happen to be a pair of raccoon brothers who are charged with keeping an eye on things in the Sugar Man Swamp.  The swamp has been filled with mysteries and legends for generations.  Pirates found a hiding place here, the ellusive ivory-billed woodpecker lives here, and it is home to the sweetest sugarcane on earth.  Chap and the scouts know how special their home is but the famous alligator wrestler, Jaegar Stitch and her investor Sonny Boy Beaucoup want to turn the Sugar Man Swamp into "The Gator World Wrestling Arena and Theme Park".  Find out if Chap can come up with a "boatload" of cash to save the swamp, or are the true blue scouts going to have to wake up the Sugar Man?

*to me- a slow read- not sure if kids could get into it
