Tim Caverly takes us on another incredible journey in Maine’s North woods with his new book *Solace*. Wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated, readers will embark on another adventure in Maine’s Allagash region in the sixth book of the Allagash Tails collection.
Solace easily hooks the reader with Tim Caverly’s sense of adventure and a dash mystery. Instructed by a letter from a grandfather he never met, Jim embarks on a quest to recover an unknown family heirloom. Leaving his home and life behind, Jim heads North in search of the one man his grandfather said can fill in the gaps, and lead him to his family’s birthright. What transpires will give readers a taste of Maine’s Allagash region. Filled with photographs, illustrations, and stories from the region, it is hard to believe that Solace is a work of fiction.
Suitable for all ages, Solace was both easy and enjoyable to read. Written in a relaxed, folk tale style, Solace will bring the Maine wilderness to your armchair. As one who enjoys the outdoors but has never been to the Allagash, Solace has kindled a spark of interest to one day make my own journey to Maine’s Allagash region. I truly enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it to others.
