Rebecca Bond 2015
The best part about this book is that it's a true story! A young Canadian boy lives in a hotel at Gowganda Lake. His mother runs the hotel and all the different rooms and guests are described. There's the kitchen and large dining hall to the travelers' rooms and the attic where the trappers and woodsmen stay. One day there is a terrible forest fire and all the hotel guests and staff wade out into the lake for refuge. Then a most miraculous thing happens (I won't spoil it!). The author is the granddaughter of the little boy in the story and she grew up hearing this story told.
