Recommended by Jen R.
Fic Russell

Twelve-year-old Ava Bigtree and her family are alligator wrestlers who own Swamplandia, a tourist attraction in the Florida Everglades. When Hilola, mother and star of the big show, dies, Swamplandia falls apart and the family follows suit. Each family member embarks on a personal journey to save the Bigtree name and family business. This book is refreshing, humorous, and well written.
