The Florida Chase

The Florida Chase Review

**This novel was re-read and edited on 24 Feb and spelling and grammar were fixed up**


What would you do if your father went missing?

When two brothers find out that their dad is missing, they drive to Washington DC to investigate. What they find propels them to get on the first flight to Florida. Arriving, they get caught up in Hurricane Adam as it hits the coastline. Now they have to find their father AND battle nature's fury.

Follow the brothers as they make their way through the state in an effort to uncover the mystery of why their father has suddenly disappeared. Read as they travel through the Everglades, survive a hurricane, almost get blown up, have their plane sabotaged, flee on bicycles through the wetlands, and more!

And find out why a platoon of US Army soldiers joins with the brothers and launches an attack in the dead of night on a not so desolate island off the coast of the Florida Keys in the thrilling finale.

This rip roaring young adult novel, in the vein of the Hardy Boys novels, is roughly 60,000 words and is filled with mystery, adventure, and plenty of action.
