Terror at Bottle Creek

Terror at Bottle Creek by Watt Key is a harrowing survival story set in a gripping, man vs. nature situation.

"This is Hatchet for the post-Katrina generation, and it's sure to find an audience." --Booklist

In this gritty, realistic wilderness adventure, thirteen-year-old Cort is caught in a battle against a Gulf Coast hurricane.

Cort's father is a local expert on hunting and swamp lore in lower Alabama who has been teaching his son everything he knows. But when a deadly Category 3 storm makes landfall, Cort must unexpectedly put all his skills--and bravery--to the test.

One catastrophe seems to lead to another, leaving Cort and two neighbor girls to face the storm as best they can. Amid miles of storm-thrashed wetlands filled with dangerous, desperate wild animals, it's up to Cort to win--or lose--the fight for their lives.

This is a thrilling survivalist story by Watt Key, the author of Alabama Moon, Dirt Road Home, and Hideout.
