Synopsis

Have you ever read a book and wished it was your story? Wished you could have such an adventure? The Summer of Cecily is that kind of book. Magically, Nan Lincoln makes her six-week adventure raising an abandoned seal pup feel like your story, too. With humour, compassion and an incredible gift for storytelling, she takes the reader on a journey, from the first life-and-death struggle to get the starving pup to feed, to the unexpected dilemma of what to do with a baby seal who adapts so well to life a with humans. Car and wheelbarrow rides, gardening, television watching, and living in a log house; the growing seal begins to think she is human, too. It is up to her new mother to teach the pup how to be a seal again and how to live in the ocean - to swim, eat fish, and socialise with other seals. The reader will learn, along with Cecily, what it takes to be a harbour seal. The Summer of Cecily is a heart-warming and inspiring, true tale about the meeting of a creature of the land and a creature of the sea of falling in love and, ultimately, having to say good-bye. It is also the story of a very special place, where an ordinary day can turn into an extraordinary adventure. The settin
