A book worth the read. This is a comical story where little Sue lived on a houseboat, meaning a house on the water, and a hurricane hits. During the hurricane Sue was toss into the trees. She then met an Alligator who was considered Mama Alligator. "Mama" took her in as one of her own and little Sue couldn't keep up as being an alligator. Soon after "Mama" tells Sue the truth. She is not actually an alligator and is a little girl human. They find her old houseboat and Sue moves back homes. Now Sue thinks she is half girl half alligator.
