Sommario/riassunto |
|
From the moment he first woke up out at sea in the crow's nest of fisherman Gaston Angelo Noel's purse seiner, the eagle Hali knew the adventures he had longed for since leaving his nest in Anchor Point, Alaska for life on the Homer Spit were about to begin. Sad that his hatchmate, Leuc, would not be able to join him, Hali finds himself on a journey more interesting than he ever imagined while learning a few life's lessons about courage, loyalty, and love along the way. Scattered throughout the book, are photo illustrations made from original photographs that inspired this story taken by the author and her husband. Gaston's Crow's Nest, a modern Alaska story of original fiction, is suitable for all age groups and the second book in the Alaska Tale series. |
