Description

Twelve-year-old Eliza and her sister Avery live in a small fishing village on the coast of Louisiana, where they've grown up alongside turtles, pelicans, and porpoises. But with sea levels rising, their home is at risk of being swept away.

Determined to save the land, the sisters secretly search for the legendary loup-garou, a wolf-like creature said to inhabit the swamplands. If they can prove its existence, they're sure that the government will have to protect its habitat - and their community. But there's one problem: the loup-garou has never been seen before.

As a tropical storm approaches and the sisters venture deeper into the swampland, their home and their lives become increasingly at risk. Can they find the loup-garou in time, or will the rising waters claim everything they hold dear?
