Kingdom of Florida is an award-winning, middle-grade Florida-fantasy book series that follows the adventures of young children who find their way into a mysterious and enchanted land. They meet many fantastic creatures and curious characters on their journey. Though these stories draw inspiration from a diverse range of works (including The Chronicles of Narnia, the Harry Potter series, 1980s adventure films, and L. Frank Baum's Oz series), Kingdom of Florida builds a satisfying, engaging, and fresh American mythology that is perfect for the modern reader of almost any age! Multiple books in the series have landed on Amazon Best Seller charts, and the first installment -- The Golden Alligator -- was a Silver Medal Winner in the 2021 Florida Authors & Publishers Association President's Book Awards and a Finalist in the 15th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards!
The complete series is available now, and consists of seven books:
1. The Golden Alligator
2. The Lamplight Society
3. The Place Beyond the Sea
4. The Fountain of Youth
5. The Curse of Coronado
6. Coral and the Treasure Hunters
7. Guardians of the Willow
