A story about finding what you didn't know was missing in the most unusual of places. Set in a rugged and long-forgotten area, where the shore meets the tide, The House the Captian Built spins an inviting world that time passes by. Dealing with loss and finding hope in the acceptance of others, this short story touches on difficult topics which both children and adults find hard to explain. Talks of loneliness, searching, and finding connection in a difficult world, are things we all struggle with at times. The House the Captain Built is a character-driven, fast-paced, and engaging story that will connect with readers regardless of age. Follow the journey of a boy searching for someone he lost, and along the way finds he is not alone in experiencing loss. Winner of the 2014 Joyce Barkhouse Writing for Children Prize- Nova Writes Competition for Unpublished Manuscripts.
