A circle of holes?? An ancient artifact? Who made it? Why? MillieMay and her class question everything. Today, Mrs. M , their teacher has shared with them news of a discovery carved into the bedrock at the mouth of a small river in the heart of their downtown!

In MillieMay and the Miami Circle you will delight in the story as the students travel to the Miami Circle, handle artifacts and solve mysteries just like Mr. John, the archaeologist. MillieMay's imagination soars as she imagines all that Mrs. M and Mr. John share with the students. Soon she finds herself joining in the celebrations with the Tequesta children and resolving to help save the circle from destruction.
