Harvey E. Oyer - Author
This is a historical adventure about young people growing up in late-nineteenth-century South Florida, combining frontier life, family companionship, friendship with Tiger, and encounters linked to the region’s history.
"This is the third book in a series of books about the adventures of young Charlie Pierce, one of South Florida's earliest pioneer settlers. The story follows teenage Charlie and his fearless little sister Lillie in the late 1880s, when South Florida was America's last frontier. Together with his Seminole friend, Tiger, Charlie experienced one of the most intriguing and exotic lives imaginable. His adventures as a young boy growing up in the wild, untamed jungles of Florida became legendary. Perhaps no other person experienced firsthand as many important events and met as many influential characters in South Florida's history."--Introduction.

Charlie and Lillie are young people living in late-1880s South Florida, described as America’s last frontier, where Charlie’s adventures become associated with the region’s history.
Charlie experiences his adventures together with Tiger, who is identified as his Seminole friend; Lillie is also part of the central group.
The frontier setting and the relationship between Charlie, Lillie and Tiger offer opportunities to discuss whose experiences are centred, how different communities are represented, and what historical detail the story leaves unexplored.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
