Description: Montooth 2 begins with Carty Andersson, now 16, spotting the murderous Cruz Cruz in Havana where he is interferring with Cuban politics. Carty and Elena Rafferty, her Cuban roommate at Sarasota Preparatory Academy, embark on a harrowing pursuit of Cruz with help from an old friend. Sally, the Canfield Witch from the first book, embraces her new persona and discovers a hidden family history involving a race through the wilds of Ninteenth Century Burma in search of an enormous ruby from one of King Solomon's fabled mines. Sally's treasure in Winter Free, Florida, including the priceless Ryland Ruby, is once again at risk - and it leads to the discovery of the true character of two individuals from the first book. As usual, Montooth the alligator and other swamp creatures are involved.
