Bleuette is a nine-year-old French girl in 1905. She is based on the French porcelain doll of the same name that debuted in a French magazine in 1905. Bleuette comes from a family of moderate means, but her class mates thinks she's from a well off family because she always has new dresses. When she's invited to a fancy birthday party by the richest girl in class, she can't wait to go and see the fancy house. But will the girl learn she is just the daughter a seamstress and withdraw the invitation?

ALLIGATORS, OUTLAWS, AND TOURISTS? Best Florida Fiction! Best Florida Young Adult Book! James J. Horgan Award Winner! */** IT'S 1914 ON FLORIDA'S LAST FRONTIER. Billy, a young Cracker who yearns to become a Florida cow hunter, the Chief, a Seminole boy who sees his way of life dying, and Queenie, an educated African-American girl from Baltimore who longs to have adventures are lost in the magical and mysterious Florida Jungle between Lake Okeechobee and the Atlantic Ocean. When outlaws block the only road back, they have to find a new way home. How will they survive, and who will they be when they get there? LIKENED BY CRITICS TO MARK TWAIN'S "HUCKLEBERRY FINN", "The River Way Home" is a tale of pre-bulldozer Florida for young adults and adults who are young at heart. Full of action, humor, exotic animals, and conflicts that remain contemporary today, it is a classic tale of friendship and coming-of-age that will take you back in time to your childhood favorites. TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO THE FLORIDA JUNGLE around Lake Okeechobee, a land of mystery and promise that still lay unchanged 400 years after being discovered by Ponce de Leon. In 1914, central and south Florida is home to only a handful of people, but its millions of alligators, rivers, and forests teeming with fish, manatees, and birds of every size and color attract adventurers and sportsmen from the big east-coast cities. WHEN THEY GET THERE, they find scruffy and independent Florida Crackers homesteading the high ground and the few Seminole Indians, who survived three wars against the United States Military and never signed a peace treaty, wandering its narrow paths and watery byways, and outlaws, clinging to their culture and their freedom in a changing world. BUT THE TRAIN IS COMING, and the Billy, the Chief, and Queenie know it will bring hordes of Yankee adventurers and businessmen determined to civilize the Jungle. What they don't know is how they will survive in the "New Florida". So, they set out in search of the future and find themselves and adventure, instead. WITH A SECTION OF OLD PHOTOGRAPHS AND SHORT HISTORICAL ESSAYS AT THE END, "The River Way Home" is historical fiction full of action, humor, and conflicts that remain contemporary today. *2013 - Florida Authors & Publishers Association **2014 - Florida Historical Society Keywords: Florida, Seminole, Native American, African-American, historical fiction, action, adventure, Florida Cracker, cracker, Indian, outlaw, John Ashley, train, fish, fishing, Indian River, St. Lucie River, environment, environmental, coming of age, history, photographs, girl, strong girl, Amazon, Stuart, Ft.

The Oliphant sisters--Miranda, Lulu and Leggy--spend every summer at their family's run-down Great Camp in the Adirondacks built by their great-great grandfather, back when the family was prosperous. As much as the girls look forward to time away from their New York City all-girls' school, the tedium of an entire summer enjoying unspoiled nature, with no wireless connection anywhere, is more than they can bear. This summer their parents, Professor and Judge Oliphant, are busy with work and have handed them over to their kind but absentminded Aunt Ariel, who provides even less structure than their parents. Miranda daydreams about redecorating their moldy, book-filled camp; Lulu hungers for competitive sports; and Leggy, the littlest Oliphant, drives everyone crazy with her constant talk of fairies. When their odious cousins arrive unexpectedly, bringing with them all the tensions the girls thought they had left behind for the summer, the girls, who were each adopted from China, fight for their place in the family and for their beloved summer home. They discover that being an Oliphant brings lots of surprises.
