Thinking about a story to use for Black History Month? The Secret of Atalaya is perfect. Set around Pawleys Island, SC, this mystery is solved by three Carolina cousins who find clues leading to the discovery that escaped Gullah slaves fled to northern Florida and merged with Seminole indians. The resulting Black Seminoles is little read about in history. This book will introduce students to the Huntingtons of Brookgreen Gardens fame, acquaint them with Huntington Beach State Park, and lead them on what may have been the first underground railroad in America.
To celebrate Black History Month and just for Facebook users, beginning February 1st and lasting the entire month, my publisher will offer this title at 50% off the price. For $3.99 you can download the PDF from a special link for Facebook users.
