The Treasure of Pelican Cove
Milly Howard is both a teacher and a writer. She has written numerous short stories and several novels for children. Many of the characteristics of her story people, as well as their problems, are drawn from experiences with her own children.Her family frequently vacations in Florida, sometimes on an island very much like the one that Jimmy visited. A chance remark, coupled with the fact that Mrs. Howard is an avid mystery reader, sparked the idea for The Treasure of Pelican Cove.
