MY THOUGHTS: When Sandy and Jack's father kidnaps them and is running from a possible murder of the boys mother, Sandy and Jack decide to run themselves. They take all their dad's money and leave in the dead of the night. They decide to go to Key Largo, Florida, to Crocodile Swamp. They believe their dad won't come there to get them. Sandy and Jack get supplies and a boat and take off to find Crocodile Swamp. They make a couple friends while there that help them out. Really good book, loved it. It's not as bad as it sounds, there is a happy ending. I give this book 4......
