Swimming Against the Storm

In Swimming Against the Storm, twelve-year-old Eliza and her younger sister Avery live in a shrinking Louisiana fishing village, where rising seas threaten to swallow their home. Determined to save their community, they venture deep into the swamp in search of the legendary wolf-like loup-garou, hoping its existence will prompt government protection. The sisters face treacherous terrain, hidden dangers, and the pressure of proving that their vanishing land is worth fighting for. This middle-grade adventure blends vivid bayou wildlife with the urgency of environmental change.
