Swamp Girl

Trixie McQueen, a.k.a. Sixteen, is living in a New York City subway tunnel when she hears a couple of con men talking about some big deal that is about to go down in South Florida. Stowing away on their plane, she soon finds herself in the Everglades and on the run from the criminals. She is rescued from the marsh by a group of very odd characters, including the beautiful and mysterious Raven—a transplanted Valley Girl—who she has an immediate crush on. And Sixteen's new friends don't take kindly to gangsters in their neck of the swamp. Check out Sixteen's adventures with Jumpy Jim, Big Ned Briscoe, Burundi, Smelly, the indescribable Señor Skin and all the others in this quirky ecological young-adult thriller.
