"If no such thing as the Great Floridian Novel already existed, consider it done. . . . A novel of idiosyncratic and eloquent language; hyperreal, Technicolor settings; and larger-than-life characters who are nonetheless heartbreakingly vulnerable and keenly emotional. It's a tour de force." --Elle
"Beautiful, dark, and funny." --Rolling Stone
"Dazzlingly original. . . . Like the state itself, Swamplandia! is a crossroads where the wild and the tame, the spectacular and the mundane meet; underneath the hubbub of the fantastic lies a family of misfits at sea in their grief--theirs is a story that is as ordinary as it is heartbreaking." --Boston Globe
"Wonderfully imaginative." --The Seattle Times
"A rich and humid world of spirits and dreams, buzzing mosquitoes and prehistoric reptiles, baby-green cocoplums and marsh rabbits, and musty old tomes about heroes and spells. With Ava [Russell] has created a goofy and self-conscious girl who is young enough to hope that all darkness has an answering lightness." --The Economist
"A lusciously written phantasmagorical treat." --Palm Beach Post
"Swamplandia! flashes brilliantly--holographically--between a surreal tale brimming with sophisticated whimsy and an all-too-realistic portrait of a quaint but dysfunctional family under pressure in a world that threatens to make them obsolete. . . . Ava is a true contemporary heroine and not easily forgotten." --More
"Winningly told." --Vogue
"Audacious, beguiling. . . . Ava's story turns into a tale that could have been concocted by Flannery O'Connor in partnership with the Brothers Grimm--in other words, a first-class nightmare. . . . You will admire this novel for its prose, but you will love it for its big heart." --The Daily Beast

"Ms. Russell is one in a million. A suspensfuly, deeply haunted book." The New York TimesThirteen-year-old Ava Bigtree has lived her entire life at Swamplandia!, her familys island home and gator-wrestling theme park in the Florida Everglades. But when illness fells Avas mother, the parks indomitable headliner, the family is plunged into chaos; her father withdraws, her sister falls in love with a spooky character known as the Dredgeman, and her brilliant big brother, Kiwi, defects to a rival park called The World of Darkness.
