Melinda Braun - Luella


LUELLA

by Melinda Braun

Savage Press

ISBN-10: 1886028850


When two sisters find an orphan duckling in an abandoned nest, they take it home, name it Luella. The girls introduce her to the dog, Pancake the pug. Luella imprints on Pancake and grows up thinking she is a dog, so the sisters do their best to teach Luella how to be a duck, namely by trying to teach her to swim. But Luella has her own ideas, and does not take like a "duck to water". In the end, it takes a special teacher to show her who she really is.
