Brian Doyle Covered Bridge
Groundwood Books 2004-01-22 0888996039 / 9780888996039 Paperback New Paperback
New unread book. Has small shelf wear to edge and cover. Centered on the theme of cherishing the past, Covered Bridge pits earnest Hubbo O'Driscoll against two determined, cynical land developers. Hubbo is beginning to enjoy the pleasures of country life while staying with his guardian aunt and uncle, and he even has a job as curator of the area's rustic covered bridge. When the old bridge — home to a wayward ghost and her lovelorn postman — is suddenly threatened by builders Ovide and Prootoo Proulx, Hubbo searches for a way to save it. Accompanied by his personable dog, Nerves, Hubbo tries to reconcile the charms of days gone by with the profit-driven demands of the present. At the last minute, help arrives in unexpected form: Foolish Father Foley from Farrelton, the two ghosts, and a crazy goat. But will it be enough to keep the old bridge of Mushrat Creek from demolition?

Brian Doyle Easy Avenue
Groundwood Books 2004-01-22 0888996055 / 9780888996053 Paperback New Paperback
New book in great condition. Product DescriptionWith a Dickensian cast of characters and an improbable soap opera-style ending, this novel for young readers is delightfully droll, even as it deals with the difficult theme of social classes and pits the rich against the poor. It is set in post-World War II Canada, providing an interesting historic context, and as always Doyle's realistic dialogue and teen-oriented situations appeal to this age group.
