The Chickcharney Adventure Series

Deep in the pine
forest, something
is watching

A Bahamian legend comes to life — follow the trail of glowing eyes into The Whispering Hole, Book One of an island adventure for young explorers.  
A Bahamian Tale, Passed Down

Who — or what — is the Chickcharney?

Long before the first settlers arrived, the elders say, a small forest spirit watched over the pinelands of the islands — three-toed, red-eyed, and rarely seen by those who didn’t deserve to see it. Some say it brings good fortune to those who treat the land with kindness. Others say it plays tricks on those who don’t. In The Whispering Hole, one curious child follows a glowing trail no one else can see — straight to the edge of a blue hole, and the beginning of an adventure passed down through island generations.
What Waits in the Forest

The World of the Series

The Blue Hole

A bottomless-looking pool hidden in the limestone where the forest spirit is said to live — and where every adventure in the series begins.

The Carved Mask

Woven with feathers, shells, and beads, the Chickcharney's mask hides a guide who tests every traveler's courage and kindness.

The Glowing Rabbit

An ember-eyed companion only the kind-hearted can see — said to lead travelers safely through the pinelands, if they listen closely.

Book One — Out Now

The Whispering Hole

Every blue hole on the island has a story. This one has a secret. When a strange light leads a young islander away from the path she knows, she finds herself face to face with a legend her grandmother always swore was real.

Written for curious young readers ages 6–10, The Whispering Hole blends real Bahamian folklore with a gentle adventure about courage, kindness, and listening to the world around you.
