This compelling story of Kya, who grows up and lives her entire life in the swamps along the North Carolina coast, will undoubtedly be # 1 on my 2019 Top 12 Reads. Kya attends school for only one day, but then a friend teaches her to read and helps her publish her research and drawings of the flora and fauna that she knows so intimately.
What I’ve just described is the background to the life story of this independent girl, known as Swamp Girl. As the saying goes, once you start reading, you won’t want to put the book down.
