The Lions Paw
At last, the beloved
children adventure story “The Lion’s Paw” is back in
print to be shared with those you love.
Already 9 yrs old, Nick,
Penny’s younger brother, knew he did not want to be adopted
by Mrs. Wertz. On Penny’s 12th birthday, Nick
announced “I’m going to run away.” At their ages, they
weren’t cute babies, running away was the only way out of
the orphanage….After walking all night, all the way to the
sea, Penny and Nick collapsed and hid under the sails of a
boat in the harbor. The next morning they found their
sleepy faces at the wrong end of a dripping wet mop,
standard punishment for stowaways, insisted one of the
owners of the sailboat. The boat owner, Ben, was just 15
yrs old, a boy whose father the
U.S. Navy insisted was MIA in the Pacific during World War
II. The only way Ben could think of to prevent his uncle
from selling his father’s boat to a willing and waiting
purchaser, and fulfill the boy’s mission to make good on a
promise he made to his father, was to sail her out to sea.
That is the
beginning of the tale of “The Lion’s Paw”. The three
children are chased on a thrilling adventure steering the
sailboat Ben’s father made, hundreds of miles through the
inland waterways of Florida - on the St. Lucie Canal, from
the Atlantic Coast all the way to the Island of Captiva in
the Gulf of Mexico - keeping one step ahead of the Coast
Guard, bounty hunters, alligators and tropical storms that
threaten to deprive them of their quest for freedom.
