Nokosee: Rise Of The New Seminole
Cultures clash, sparks fly, love blooms, people die, and two kids, one a little bit punk and the other way too country, see their lives changed forever. Stormy Jones has to spend summers with her father, an Everglades park ranger. Thinking it might build character, he drags her along to fight an Everglades fire and promptly loses her when it gets out of control. Stormy is helpless in the Natural World until Nokosee stumbles upon her. Raised deep in the Everglades, Nokosee has never seen a white person before, much less one with "sky eyes and flamingo hair." Built like a bronze Adonis, 17-year-old Nokosee and Stormy begin a series of amazing adventures as a modern day "Tarzan and Jane" and it's only a matter of time before they fall into a libido fueled mixed-up kinda love. Too bad for them. Nokosee's father is certifiably deranged. Nokosee is the first of the "New Seminole" whom he is grooming to take back the "Outside." The last thing he wants is for his son to fall for an "Outsider." You can learn more

Written in first person this contemporary romance between two teenagers is aimed at, you guessed it, the young adult crowd. Nikosee, a Seminole, is on a "walkabout" when he accidentally encounters Stormy. The product of a divorce, she is spending time with her father when she becomes separated from him during a wildfire in the Everglades.
Dialog between the teens is fast-paced. The reality-action-adventure contains f*rt*ng and other silliness to get some laughs. You have the elements of heat, humidity and insects that give this story some realism. On the flip side it is a fantasy when a gator named King Roar listens to Nikosee's commands. You'll have to read the story to find out how it ends.
I probably would have rated it higher but I felt the story was trying to be too many things. Fantasy, reality, action/adventure, romance: it factored in all these genres but I would have enjoyed the story more if it devoted a greater extent of time to one or two of these topics. My understanding is "Micco Mann" is the pseudonym of the special agent who interviewed Stormy Jones. The book is supposedly based on those notes. If you like your fiction or non-fiction to be neatly packaged this book may not be for you. All in all I feel the 16 to 25 year old crowd will relate best to this contemporary piece but if you are older and want a break from the romances you are currently reading, try it.

Stormy has been exiled to Florida by the courts and her mother as part of her father's "joint custody" rights. When her father decides to have her help put out one of the worst fires Florida has ever seen as part of her "character building," he accidentally forgets about her and leaves her to find her way through the blaze!
Saved by a Seminole named Nokosee, she finds herself being held hostage for ransom by Nokosee's father's orders. With parents who'd rather see each other dead, a Seminole uprising on the brink, and a romance budding between Nokosee and Stormy, what's a girl to do?
A modern-day ROMEO & JULIET with adventure, romance, and action. The book has some language and references to sex, but the book is clean and fun to read. The main characters are well-developed, the plot keeps the reader intrigued, and the mysterious rivalry between fathers keeps the reader wanting to see what happens.
Readers who like adventure, action, environmental fiction, and a little bit of romance will enjoy reading NOKOSEE.
