The Missing Gator of Gumbo Limbo is about a little girl named Liza Poole which lives with her mother in one of the last balanced ecosystems in North America. She lives on a Hammock which is deep in the Florida Everglades. Liza is different because she does not like to live in a house instead she would rather live in the outdoors under an Oak Tree, in a small yellow tent. There's also an alligator who she calls Dajun. She loves this gator named Dajun because it protects her and her woods people from the public. Then one day an official went to the Hammock with orders to kill the gator because people around the area have said that Dajun has been scaring people near by. Liza gets real mad and springs into action. Now Liza has to find Dajun before the official does.
 This book was okay March 27, 2007
This book was okay, but there were a couple of things I didn't like. There were a couple of questions that the writer didn't answer, like what happened to Travis and Priscilla. Those are some loose ends that were not tied up. I did like the ending. I would think this book is for kids ages eight and up. There are some things that are hard to understand, and there are no pictures. I liked that there was a map in the front that tells where everything in the story is located. I would recommend this book for people that like chapter books and for people that want to learn about Florida.

Never read this book. It is boring. The author repeats everything over and over again.
Good Enough November 10, 2005
This Everglades story is an interesting ecological mystery, but it's a bit too repetitive. (By now if you've read all my reviews you'll know it's one of my pet peeves.) Searching for a missing alligator the entire story is a bit too much, hm? Well, overall it's a good ecological mystery, but only if you're bored should you make the drastic decision to read it.

I have just finish reading a book call The Missing Gator of Gumbo Limbo. It's about a family who don't have a house yet, because they don't have enough money to build a house. The father was in another country, doing business around the world. He doesn't even know what's happening to his family. Many people say that they don't have house. Well they are, but the mother says that they were on a vacation. She always said that every time because she doesn't want people to know it. So now, their daughter named Liza K., is an adventures girl. She knows all the places in the forest. She even has an alligator friend. Now, she and her friends must save the forest from the people who want to destroy, but then, her alligator friend lost. Now, she's on an adventure to find the alligator and stop the destruction of the forest. I think this book is good because it tells everybody how important the forest is to us. If we don't have a forest, then how can we live? How can we stay a life without oxygen? Where the oxygen come from? Oh well I think you know where it is. So this book, did, teach us something. I recommended this book who loves to safe this world.
