Lumber Camp Library

Lumber Camp Library
Author(s): Natalie Kinsey-Warnock

A charming chapter book set in the early 1900s in rural Vermont, by the award-winning author of The Canada Geese Quilt. This is a great choice for emerging readers who are ready for chapter books.

To Ruby, her log-riding lumberjack pa is the most wonderful person in the world. There's nothing she'd rather do than follow in his footprints, but a lumber camp is no place for an eight-year-old girl.

So Ruby goes to school. There she discovers another passion—the world that opens up to her in books.

When circumstances suddenly change, Ruby fears she has lost the two things she loves most. But through her struggle, she discovers in herself the courage, kindness, and talent that she always admired in her father.

Review(s):
Kinsey-Warnock highlights love of reading and the desire to learn in this short, wholesome tale of hardship and friendship.
“This spare and moving chapter book will hook readers from the first page.”
“Readers will be transfixed by the strong and spirited Ruby.”
