Bothin Marsh Blooming With Salty Pickleweed
Chapter Books

I love running along the marsh.  I use to think it was just a bog of weeds and trash. Marshes have been filled in, paved over, and used as dumping grounds. Now I know it is filled with animals, stories and their adventures.

The three marsh chapter stories intersect with each other.

RACHEL ROSE, MARSH MOUSE
The Rock Storm Mystery
Rachel Rose, a tiny, tenacious salt marsh harvest mouse, loses her family to mysterious rock storms—unpredictable showers of rock, dirt and concrete. She searches for her family and disappearing food, but until she can find out what causes the storms, no marsh mouse is safe.

CHAMPION NICO R.L. FROG
Nico, the champion jumping red-legged frog, is a bit selfish, forgetful of others, and really wants his Dad’s approval. He befriends mice, which totally isn’t allowed, since they are food, after all. The mice help him build confidence and find his way to take risks for others against the Bullfrog Army, not just for himself.
