Bookroo's summary

Tumble Wilson and Blue Montgomery are bound by a family curse that splits their fates between fortune and misfortune. To break this cycle, they must confront the legendary golden gator, Munch, in the heart of the Okefenokee swamp. As they embark on this daring quest, they question if the legend holds any truth. Can they change their destinies, or are they chasing a myth? With friendship and courage, they face the unknown, determined to rewrite their futures. Will they succeed, or is their fate sealed by the past?

From the publisher

When the red moon rises over the heart of the Okefenokee swamp, legend says that the mysterious golden gator Munch will grant good luck to the poor soul foolish enough to face him. But in 1817, when TWO fools reach him at the same time, the night’s fate is split. With disastrous consequences for both . . . and their descendants. Half of the descendants have great fates, and the other half have terrible ones. Now, Tumble Wilson and Blue Montgomery are determined to fix their ancestors’ mistakes and banish the bad luck that’s followed them around for all of their lives. They’re going to face Munch the gator themselves, and they’re going to reclaim their destinies. But what if the legend of Munch is nothing but a legend, after all?
