Book Description :

'The tree suddenly jerked violently towards the river. The egrets tried to gather their eggs. They manage to grab one each and launch themselves off the collapsing tree, but as the male pushed away, he caught his feet amongst the leaves at what used to be the top of the tree. His feet became entangled and, as he fought to free them, he lost his grip and the egg fell. It splashed into the river and was swept rapidly away downstream, gone from sight...' Amazon Swamp Chicken is the nickname of Skeeta Stix, a young egret who was lost as an egg and raised by a family of alligators in the Florida swamps. Skeeta and his animal friends (Pede the salamander, Captain Jack the pelican and a host of chums) live in the friendly town of Willow Creek, where life revolves around chocolate milkshakes at the diner - but there is never a dull moment! Join Skeeta and the gang as they start a band, solve a heinous crime at the local casino (run by a loan shark), rescue a brood of lost moorhens and befriend a mysterious stranger from Hollywood. These four delightful and enchanting stories have been inspired by J. Frances Dunne's mother, who used to read The Wind in the Willows to her as a child and ignited in her a passion for reading. The collection will appeal to children aged 8 and older.
