In In the 1950's, Key West had yet to experience the melee of being sought out as a tourist-haven. Times were simpler; doors still remained unlocked on people homes, and young people could travel the island on foot or bike without their parent's being too concerned.

Their childlike naiveť, however, just may cost them their lives. Smugglers of Mallory Square was written specifically for 10-11 year olds. No graphic language or actions are included in the story.
