Mingo's Cave Caribbean Adventure
Mingo’s Cave is about adventure in the Caribbean. In it the reader gets to meet quirky island characters, search for hidden treasure, ride along on dangerous boat excursions, learn about the destruction of an Eco-sensitive camp, and seek revenge for a senseless murder.
In 1944, a native boy, Mingo Tamaryn, finds a cave. “Yo needs to stay outta dat cave. Listen to me boy, der ain’t no jumbie, but der is bad spirits and danger. In de bad days, white mens used boats to steal from one another. Der some story dey put der gold in de hole. Mens were kilt in dat hole. Dey jest throw dem down dat hole.â€
