Mid-October - November StoryWalk 

The Hike, by Alison Farrell

This book tells the story of three girls' friendship—and their tribulations and triumphs in the great outdoors. Here is the best and worst of any hike: from picnics to puffing and panting, deer-sighting to detours. Featuring a glossary, a sketchbook by one of the characters, abundant labels throughout, and scientific backmatter. (Goodreads.org)

Please enjoy this selection and be sure and come to the library to let us know what you think!
