Summary:
Bess, George and I are heading down to Key Largo, Florida, to enjoy some fun in the sun with my old friend, marine biologist Delia Duke. But it seems that Delia's state park is clouded over with mystery: Someone has been poaching the park's rare butterfly orchids. Their future depends on us! George seems more interested in searching for treasure in the Catalina, an old sunken Spanish galleon, than in hunting for an orchid thief. My hope is that George, Bess, Delia, and I can save two priceless treasures in one fell swoop.
Excerpt/First Sentence(s):
You're totally hopeless, Nancy. We've been in Florida for less than an hour, and you've already gotten us lost!"
My friend Bess Marvin was the one doing the talking. And she was right about me being hopeless. When my mind is on a mystery, I'm useless behind the wheel. I get so busy trying to figure things out that I forget about practical details like keeping track of directions. So I guess it's no surprise that I always end up getting lost on some back road I've never seen before.
Like right now, for instance.
