Lucy’s family has just moved, again. This time they have moved to a cottage on a
lake in New Hampshire. Lucy’s dad is a
photographer and he has to leave right after the move to go on a shoot in Arizona. Lucy misses him when he’s gone. But more than
anything, she wants her dad to notice her.
She’s a photographer too, and she wants her dad to really see her work. Her dad is going to be judging a kids’
photography contest when he gets back.
If Lucy enters the contest, maybe her dad will finally pay
attention. Her new friend, Nate, who is
spending the summer at the lake might be willing to help her. He and his family, especially his Grandma
Lilah, have been tracking the loons on the lake for the past several
summers. His grandma can’t get out to do
the work herself, so he and his family are taking the kayaks out to monitor the
loon family, in hopes that the eggs hatch this year. They keep track of everything to report to
the Loon Preservation Committee. If they
win, they hope to use the prize money to buy a motorized raft that would be big
and sturdy enough to get Grandma Lilah out to the loons one last time. I think that any kids who like real life
stories would enjoy this book.
