Last Egret: The Adventures of Charlie Pierce
In the late 19th century, hunters killed millions of birds in the Florida Everglades to supply the booming trade in bird feathers for ladies' fashion. As teenagers, Charlie Pierce and his friends traveled deep into the unexplored Everglades to hunt plume birds for their feathers, never imagining the challenges they'd face or what they'd learn about themselves along the way.
The Last Egret is the first of five books in Oyer's Adventures of Charlie Pierce series, following Charlie and his friends as their pursuit of fortune turns into a lesson on conservation and protecting the environment.
The author, Harvey Oyer, is a fifth-generation Floridian and an attorney. He was named Florida's Distinguished Author in 2013 and his books have won several awards, including the Florida Book Award and Mom's Choice Award.
