About the Book

THE REBELLION OF ESMERALDA

In a novel that captures the hilarious idiosyncrasies of life on a remote Mexican island, Mark Scarpaci tells the story of Oregon high-tech escapee Martin Slate. On the tropical island of Esmeralda Martin takes a magical journey to a land where time stands still, honey has special powers and the locals believe in turtle Gods. Martin discovers a different way of life and a rare breed of sea turtles about to become extinct. The battle that ensues pits Martin and the colorful villagers against the mayor and his mainland cohorts.

A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to the Karen Beasley Turtle Hospital in Topsail, North Carolina.
