The ships may be gone, but the Mobile-Tensaw Delta is still full of secrets!
When Captain Steve takes Addison, Brody, and JD exploring the winding Tensaw River, they expect to find pieces of the old Ghost Fleet. What they do not expect is a sneaky red fox, mysterious clues, forgotten camps, and a legend that seems to be following them through the swamp.
Could Railroad Bill really have outsmarted everyone and vanished into the wilderness? Or is there more to the story than anyone knows?
Between spotting wildlife, chasing clues, and trying to keep Captain Steve on track, the crew has plenty to investigate-and plenty of surprises waiting around the next bend.
Set among the real waterways and wild places of Alabama's Mobile-Tensaw Delta, The Ghost Fleet and the Fox blends local history, nature, mystery, humor, and the spirited banter of Captain Steve and his crew. Young readers are invited to examine the evidence, consider different explanations, and decide for themselves where history ends and legend begins.
Created for readers ages 8-12, this chapter-length Captain Steve adventure includes illustrations and beyond-the-page questions and activities that encourage observation, research, discussion, and further exploration.
