The Tabby House Breezy Guide to Charlotte County is a chatty, informative look at the county, its communtiies and its sparkling centerpiece--the rivers and harbor. The guide is written by people who first came to Charlotte County as visitors in the early 1970s, and ended up staying. The Breezy Guide includes maps and photographs, and is conveniently divided into geographic sections. 
Laid-back and undiscovered, Charlotte County, on Florida's Southwest coast, offers sun-filled vacation opportunities for the weekend tourist or winter resident. Visitors can easily see why Money magazine calls this one of the top places to live in the nation. There's more to do than meets the eye--ecotourism adventures, fishing, boating, cultural events, Gulf beaches, golf, historical points of interest, places to walk, bike and unwind in a climate that is visitor-friendly all year.

More than 50 years ago, before television and shopping centers, Southwest Floridians entertained each other by sitting on front porches, rocking, sipping lemonade and telling stories. On such porches, Ella Kathryn Hendry learned the family stories--about her famous great-grandfather, F. A. Hendry, a cattleman, legislator, and influential citizen for whom Hendry County is named. And she, too, became a storyteller, sharing what was life in the early 20th century. Her stories are part of the fabric of Southwest Florida's history. The book is illustrated with her art, and photographs, many from the Florida state archives.

This sequel to The Wild Women of Lake Anna; is part of an award-winning adventure series for ages 8-12. This book was a silver finalist in the Florida Publishers Association book contest. Bailey Fish, 11, is starting to enjoy her new life in Central Virginia after her traveling mother sends her to live with her grandmother, Sugar. Suddenly strangers arrive--a father Bailey does not know and an annoying half sister, Norma Jean. Norma Jean is not like Bailey's best friends, who are more like real sisters. Norma Jean even sees the good in Justin, a former bully, who is raising a pet crow. Bailey and her best friends form the No Sisters Sisters Club to exclude Norma Jean. Attitudes change when the sisters learn that they must work together to solve the scary mysteries of Bailey's stolen kitten and a fire at an old house. Then, a drive with their father for ice cream is not the adventure Bailey expects. Each of the books in the realistic adventure series features historical nuggets--this, Jack Jouett's ride (Revolutionary era), and the Battle of Trevilian Station (Civil War), discussion questions, maps, photos, glossary and Web and book resources. The illustrator is Christopher Grotke.
