Delightful, colorful
Illustrations of the animals,
the island and ocean life
by Anderson Atlas 

Gene and Bony are Curly-tail Lizards who live on Cayman Brac. They are best friends and are known as the Lime Lizard Lads. 

They enjoy a wonderful island life (besides dodging herons), but they are fascinated by the tourists, who love taking pictures of their perfectly curled tails.

Day after day, they wonder where the tourists go on those boats. Finally, the Lads decide to sneak aboard one and find out! But not without some second thoughts . . . especially when they got really hungry.

But the boat docked at last–at George Town on Grand Cayman. They are carried onto shore, and into a car, and back out to sea and onto land and back in a car. They’d had enough! It was time to escape from the bag and return to Cayman Brac!

There’s just one thing–how will they get back home?

Fun and Colorful
Illustrations of the many
animals they encounter, 

including the Dragon!
by Anderson Atlas 

Gene and Bony are bored. They go see Old Soldier Crab who tells them wondrous, dangerous creatures live up on the bluff. And, if they go, they must prove themselves worthy and return with a piece of Caymanite.

They must journey through Skull Cave and meet bats, and a cat with sharp teeth. Then they meet Kat, a fellow Curly-tail Lizard and she knows the way to Nani Cave. But she warns there might be more than one dragon.

Meeting one danger after another, they finally arrive at Nani Cave. There he is: the dragon! He’s HUGE! And look at all those teeth!

What will Gene and Bony do now?
