Synopsis

This story is about a big city kid and the unforgettable summer adventure he and a couple of small town kids had when rescuing and caring for a little seal. Rich was not very happy about having to go to a small town 750 miles away to spend his summer vacation with total strangers, except for his aunt who was an older, unmarried Quaker minister. No, he was not happy about it at all, but his summer turned out to be an adventure that he and his new friends found really exciting. You never know about summer vacations. Read about Rich's summer of trains, ferryboats, new friends, a stranded baby seal, and scary experiences. Share the laughs, tears and nail biting. The book includes some illustrations.
