The Sea Devil's Demise
by Susan Diamond Riley
When a strange girl follows twelve-year-old Delta Wells and her younger brother, Jax, to Hilton Head Island after a visit to a Savannah pirate festival, the sibling duo suspects that time is playing tricks on them again. Who is this mysterious person, who is she fated to become, and how can they return her to her own era before she gets stuck in the twenty-first century forever? On their adventure to find the answers, the kids learn about the dangers of water pollution and what they-and readers-can do to help save our oceans.
Like its predecessors, the fourth book in the award-winning Delta and Jax mystery series will charm readers of all ages with its blend of real history, a touch of magic, and an inspiring message about the Sea Island environment.

Review
"With The Sea Devil's Demise, Susan Diamond Riley has brought pirate adventures in the Lowcountry to life. Combining fact and fiction, past and present, and conservation and preservation into a page-turning and time-traveling tale of friendship and adventure, Riley's novel will charm and bewitch readers of all ages."
--Cele Seldon, travel journalist and co-author of 100 Things to Do in Charleston Before You Die and 100 Things to Do in Savannah Before You Die
"Annie Cormac's strange appearance at a private festival in Savannah, GA doesn't faze the courageous duo of Delta and Jax Wells. They befriend the young Irish girl and jump right into another escapade that will have readers guessing until the end. Susan Diamond Riley's fourth book in the Delta and Jax mystery series is full of intrigue regarding the past, the present, and the future. Ms. Riley is a delightful teller of adventure stories beautifully woven with historical sketches and environmental issues that impact every age. Delta's and Jax's daring determination shows all of us the magic in reaching out to people who are different along with how to be better citizens of our environment."
--Donna Keel Armer, author of Solo in Salento and The Red Starfish
"The Sea Devil's Demise is a magical combination of adventure, Lowcountry history, life milestones, pirate lore, and the importance of family. I found myself immersed-almost hugged-by Susan Diamond Riley's beautifully crafted tale of two generous, warm-hearted kids who meet a mysterious, strangely-dressed outsider and begin a journey of discovery the likes of which they've never known. I loved the elements of surprise and suspense sprinkled with magic! Riley's imagination will leave her readers breathless and inspired. Well done!"
