Blue Chimney

A family-loving homebody – that is Trilby Scott, age eleven. And that is all she wants to be. (Except maybe something of an artist – she does like to draw.) Her chief interest is in her baby brother, especially his safety: he is just at the age to get into everything. Between him and her reckless older brother, who is always looking for excitement, she has never a calm, nor a dull, moment. The great upset of her life comes when the family moves out to a wild part of Idaho. The big country seems so formidable and anything but homelike – until she discovers on the beach of a mountain lake a houseboat that looks like Noah’s Ark!
