Gnat Stokes and the Foggy Bottom Swamp Queen

SAVE ME! When twelve-year-old Gnat Stokes comes upon this message from Goodlow Pryce, missing these past seven years, Gnat knows he's still alive. She's determined to save him and bring him home to his Appalachian mountain cove even if it means facing the evil Swamp Queen, Zelda, who lurks in nearby Foggy Bottom. An enchanted locket, a talking cat and a mysterious voice all point to the fact that more than just Goodlow's life is at stake. All that Gnat has come to know of life and love--even her own identity-- is about to be tested.
