LADDIE OF THE LIGHT BOOK

Laddie of the Light

By Jane Briggs-Bunting, Illustrated by Jon Buechel

Laddie is the coming of age story of a young girl who spends the summer at her grandfather's cottage along the shorelines of the Great Lakes. During a solo jaunt into an unspoiled area of beach, she gets lost in a sudden fog. There, she is "rescued" by a friendly little dog.

When she relates the encounter to her grandfather, he, in a magical story within the story, tells her the legend of a plucky Cairn Terrier washed ashore in a ferocious Great Lakes storm more than a century earlier. Rescued by the lighthouse keeper's daughter, Laddie proves an asset to the life saving crew and a loyal friend to the little girl who loved him.

The story weaves Great Lakes maritime history into a delightful legend that exists to this day. This 48-page, hard cover chapter book with ten original, full color illustrations is for 7-14 year old readers or lighthouse lovers everwhere!
