New Book in Our Book Walk!

The Boulder Junction Public Library has a new title in their Book Walk stands. The Book Walk begins at the library’s Reading Garden then continues to the skate park and on to the playground and around the ballfield walking trail. There are arrows on stands where needed to point readers in the right direction to the next stand.

The book the library has chosen for the Book Walk is Tackle Box Troubles: Fish Tale #1: Sammy Spinner by Susan Duke. The book was chosen to coincide with the town’s annual Musky Jamboree festivities held August 9-11.

Sammy Spinner, an eager fishing bait, gets plopped into a tackle box alongside Bucky Bucktail, Francis Frog, and Suki Suick with one goal, to catch big fish. He sees shores lined with pine trees and large loons swimming on the water. He hears giggling eagles sitting in woody nests and beavers’ thick tails building dams. Sammy believes he is well-prepared to get a fish into the red boat. However, he quickly learns catching fish that live in Northwoods Lakes could take thousands of casts. Sammy is dragged through chilly water filled with long grasses, slimy weeds, sunken logs, and lily pads that hide all types and sizes of fish. Sammy just cannot seem to catch one! Can the lures from Tackle Box Troubles teach Sammy fishing tips and a proper figure 8 to give him a better chance of catching and releasing a big fish this summer? You’ll need to walk the Book Walk and read the pages to find out!
