The Sea Turtle's Curse: A Delta and Jax Mystery

The white turtle shone pink in the watercolor light of the sunset and she let her finger gently trace the intricate honeycomb carving on the animals back. Everything happened so gradually that she didnt notice at first that the turtle was becoming warmer or that the pink cast had become a rosy glow. She didnt even notice that fog had rolled in and surrounded her feet. In fact Delta didnt notice these changes at all until the mysterious fog had entirely engulfed her. She stood in the haze still clutching the now-blazing red turtle.Twelve-year-old Delta and her younger brother Jax have no idea of the excitement in store when they discover a mysterious carved turtle figurine on the beaches of Hilton Head Island South Carolina. But when the kids become disaster magnets they realize that their new treasure has magical powers theyd never imagined! Along with their new friend Darius the siblings uncover forgotten American history and learn the importance of passing on stories as they travel throughout the Carolina Lowcountry--and time itself--in a race to break the turtles curse before a hurricane destroys their island home!
