Description

When writer Claire Mowat introduced fourteen-year-old Andrea Baxter in The Girl From Away, she created a character with whom young readers could identify. She continued Andrea's adventures in The French Isles and Last Summer in Louisbourg. Now, for the first time, these three classic stories are brought together in one volume. Fans old and new will cherish this unique collection. Claire Mowat is the author of three highly successful books for young adults, The Girl From Away, The French Isles and Last Summer in Louisbourg. She and her husband, Farley Mowat, divide their time between Ontario and Nova Scotia.
