Mark and Tatiana are very different people but then again ... maybe they're not. After all, they're both very interested in the history of their town and finding out more about the people who used to live there. They are even more interested when they find out about the albino crocodiles that have lived in a spring of the town that their town is built on top of for many many years. In fact, those crocodiles were first recorded by a peasant girl named Adalina in 1604. Now it's possible that they are not back but still there.This story begins with a look at the diary of a young girl from the 1600's. No different from any other girl in her time period she lives her days completing chores and helping her family. Her description of events is where the entire story starts and how Mark and Tatiana find out about the crocodiles. It's definitely an interesting story and something that will surprise you greatly. Who would ever expect giant crocodiles lived within their town? (Unless you live in Florida of course.) But between Mark and Tatiana there is something happening. There is a romance blooming but there's something else as well.Mark and Tatiana have family and friends outside of each other but they find themselves drawing closer to each other and further from those outside. You'll be wondering about the history of this small town and how these crocodiles came to be there the same way I was and you'll definitely be wondering what it means that they are still there. After all, it can't just be a coincidence that Adalina's people from the 1600's died off and the crocodiles are somehow still there. Or can it? You'll never know what happened unless you read this book just like I did.
