In the Florida Everglades, gator-park Swamplandia! is in trouble.
Its star performer, the great beauty and champion
alligator-wrestler Hilola Bigtree, has succumbed to cancer, and
Ava, her resourceful but terrified 13-year-old daughter, is left in
charge with her two siblings. But Ava's sister has embarked on a
romantic relationship with a ghost, her brother has defected to a
rival theme park, and her father is AWOL. And then a mysterious
figure called Bird Man guides Ava into a perilous part of the swamp
called the Underworld, promising he can save both her sister and
the park... Swamplandia! was longlisted for the 2011 Orange Prize
and shortlisted for the 2012 Pulitzer Prize and 2013 IMPAC Dublin
Literary Award.
