Cherry Point

About the Book

Jordy's at it again. A born naturalist, he becomes deeply involved in the Chesapeake Bay's problems during a summer spent on Gwynn's Island. As he quickly discover, reducing pollution is only one of many challenges. Camping at Cherry Point with his new friend, Todd, sets the stage for adventure, intrigue and mortal danger. A derelict house haunted by cyber ghosts creates a real-life nightmare surpassed only by their exposure to the full fury of the "Bay Bandits" on a return visit.

This fascinating story, Cherry Point, takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of suspense interspersed with valuable life lessons. Join Jordy and Todd, the indomitable almost-teenagers, as they have the experience of a lifetime!

“Charlene Hudgins Klima has combined a factual account of island life with fictional sub-plots to create mystery and adventure in her new book. The reader will indeed find many of their own wonderful recollections of Gwynn's Island and Cherry Point whether born here, a "come here," or just a fortunate visitor stumbling upon a closely knit maritime community so rich in history.”
