Connecticut Child's Book, Tagger: Alone Along the Mystic River
J.A. Louthain, Autographed
Author J. A. Louthain fell in love with the beautiful seaport village of Mystic, Connecticut while on a business trip. It made the perfect setting for the enhancement of a children's bedtime story her father had told her as a child. It's 1828 and Tagger, a young girl abandoned and alone, must survive on her own by catching fish along the Mystic River. She pursues the dream of an education, a family and a new life. Tagger: Alone Along the Mystic is such an accurate history of Mystic, CT in the early 1800s that local schools have made it required reading.
Tagger was selected for the Booksense 76 Recommended List by the American Booksellers Association and nominated for both the Young Hoosier Book Award and Connecticut's Nutmeg Award. It's the culmination of Louthain's life-long philosophy that if you work hard enough for them, you can make your dreams come true. Not only is Tagger beloved by both adults and children, but it subtly teaches many life lessons that inspire and motivate the reader.
