Born in Civil War-era Virginia, Joe Fowler witnesses the slow decline of the Old South and the ravages of the war on his home, family, and way of life.

Raised by his aunt and his aristocratic father, Joe struggles to be the man his family wants him to be— a proud, well-bred Southerner who will one day own a plantation. However, Joe has problems learning. While he understands math, he is unable to read or write, and he is forced to work with the slaves while his brothers and sister become educated.

When marine biologist Dr. Randy Heath contacts his old friend Jack MacGregor to investigate dangerous pollution in a pearl bed, the adventurous MacGregor family travels to the South Pacific to solve the mystery. With his younger siblings, Heather and R. O., and his girlfriend, Natalie, eighteen-year-old Chris MacGregor discovers a dangerous link between a toxic underwater leak and an illegal gold-mining operation.

"Little Freddie is a story about having the courage to make your dreams come true," says author Kathryn Cocquyt. "With enough desire, hard work, and care for those around you, even the loftiest of dreams can be achieved." The story of Little Freddie, a Kentucky Derby racehorse, teaches children the valuable lesson of believing in one's self and discovering one's inner strength.
