Pictures, a children's adventure novel, by Linda Aksomitis
About Pictures:
Sam Christos has been helping his grandpa take pictures since he was old enough to carry the camera gear. A family holiday in Saskatchewan was going to be his big chance to show Grandpa what a great nature photographer he could be. But his grandpa has been taken ill and Sam has to take the photos on his own.
Suddenly, his lens picks up what looks like a gigantic shadowy creature. But, just as he is about to press the button to take a picture, a girl jumps into the shot and it’s ruined. Can he shake her off and track down the mysterious creature again? Will he take a picture that makes Grandpa proud?
Excerpt:
It started like a baby’s cry then built into a howl of anguish. Was it an animal? Should he try to take its picture? Would he be able to take its picture? The horrifying sound came again, closer this time, as if the animal were moving. And then there it was — the creature!
The following slideshow consists of photos of the Land of the Loon Resort that I’ve taken, so you can see where Sam’s adventure takes place!
L is for Land of Living Skies: A Saskatchewan Alphabet is now available in book stores!
Hello Linda. While doing genealogy I found part of your book Adeline’s Dream at google books. What a wonderful read. I know your book is fiction but Adeline Mueller (the name whom I assume was taken from your husband’s grandmother) was my father’s godmother as well as his first cousin. Her father Adam was my grandfather Phillips older brother. Dad was born in Balgonie
Best Regards
Alethea (nee Miller)
