Their search takes them away from the familiar waters of the St. Johns River and deep into the twisting creeks, cypress forests, and hidden islands of the Ocklawaha.\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way, the boys encounter cottonmouths, large alligators, sudden storms, abandoned camps, mysterious carvings, and clues connected to a forgotten promise from the river's past. The farther they travel, the more they realize that the old man may not be trying to frighten them-he may be protecting something important.\u003cbr\u003eTo uncover the truth, Cliff, Marc, and Randy must rely on their courage, friendship, and respect for the dangerous wilderness around them. But they will also learn that some mysteries are not meant to become public knowledge, and some secrets are worth protecting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Old Man at the Mouth of the Ocklawaha\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is the first book in the \u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eMystery Adventures of the St. Johns River\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e series-a suspenseful river adventure filled with mystery, danger, friendship, and the wild beauty of Old Florida.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard George\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798187203154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Howard George","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997938823423,"sku":"9798187203154","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-old-man-at-the-howard-george-9798187203154","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
