| My
name is Yoolee Thorp and I live in the Florida backwoods, or as some people
call it, the swamp. My family is very poor and when my father drinks,
he hurts my mom and me. I try to protect my little sister from him,
too. My father is away from home a lot so I have to take care of
my mom and sister. Sometimes I feel like someone is watching us and
it gives me the creeps. But the worst things of all is when a neighbor
finds part of a human hand and I find a human leg bone under our shack.
There's a fierce killing monster out in the swamp and it's coming for me
and my family. What happens to Yoolee and his family? Read NINE MAN
TREE by Robert Newton Peck. (New
