My Summer Adventure

About the Book

Dusty the cat, a shy rescued kitty, takes a four-month journey with her human family from their home in Missouri to Alaska and back in a truck and travel trailer, and communicates her impressions of the experience to her human mom who documents the journey and captures it in photos. Dusty proves to be an astute observer with an ability to understand and share information about things they see and do along the way, such as an encounter with a campground dog named Blue, never-before-seen (for her) animals like moose, caribou, and bears, and including the story of the Alaska Highway, the wonder of the Northern Lights, and many interesting facts about places they visit on their 19,000-mile journey through thirteen states and Canada.
