Description
Marisa lives in the mountains—and she does not like them. Although they are fun to bike or toboggan down, they are such a pain to climb back up. They cast long shadows, and swallow the sun in the evening before playing time is done. So, when it’s time to visit her cousin in the flat prairies, Marisa can’t wait. She won’t miss the mountains—not even a little. But is she sure...?
About the authors
George grew up in Waterdown, Ontario, where he has fond early memories of weekly trips to the library with his Dad, an English teacher, and where he later worked (and read) as a student. For over 25 years he has been a Professor in the English and Modern Languages Department at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, British Columbia, where he teaches creative writing and Modern literature. Canoeing, camping, and cross-country skiing count among his outdoor passions. Living surrounded by mountains, with a wife from the prairies, inspired him to write “Marisa and the Mountains".
