Twelve-year-old Gus, spooked by storms and still mourning his older brother's death, dreads spending the summer with his Aunt Willie on a Florida wildlife refuge. But soon he's drawn into a hunt for pirate treasure and an attempt to save wild animals—including an elusive panther—from local poachers.
