Description

The third story in the popular Theodore Too series finds Theodore Too and Lucy Tug with a mystery to solve. The tugboats, always ready for adventure, hear that Halifax Harbour will soon have a famous visitor-who could it be? With the help of their friends-Dartmouth Ferry, George Lighthouse, Fisherman Murphy and Guy Seagull-they set out to find and welcome the mystery guest. When they meet the beautiful Bluenose II, they make a brand new friend and learn just why everyone loves her.

About the authors

Michelle is the author of several books for children, and she enjoys telling the stories of kids who seize life's opportunities. When growing up in Port Moody, British Columbia, her favourite spot was the library. She loved cracking open the cover of a novel, taking a deep breath, and jumping into another life.

At university, Michelle studied literature, and between courses, she helped dig a water pipeline in the Dominican Republic and flipped burgers for a summer at a McDonald's in Germany. After graduating, she cycled 6000 kilometres across Canada, became a travel writer, taught creative writing in the Arctic, and worked as a simulated patient for medical students to practice on. She also married the pen pal that she'd been writing to since she was fourteen years old, and together they traveled around his home country of Argentina.

Michelle began writing for kids because she's always loved reading children's books. These days, when she's not writing or going on adventures, she enjoys reading, swimming, baking, hiking, and pedaling her bicycle around Victoria, British Columbia, where she lives with her husband and daughter.
