Lucy Dove

There were stories about St. Andrew's, and everyone knew them — stories that said the abandoned churchyard was haunted by some fearsome thing. But stories aren't enough to keep a superstitious laird from offering a bag full of gold for completion of a foolish task, and stories aren't enough to keep strong-hearted Lucy Dove from winning that bag of much-needed gold, even if it means spending the night in a haunted graveyard under the light of the full moon. With wit and determination, Lucy proves herself a worthy opponent to every obstacle that comes her way-even a frightful bogle. Adapted from a traditional Celtic folktale, "Lucy Dove" is a story the author has been telling for years, one that evolved from her search for active heroines to offset the passive female protagonists of many popular fairy tales.
