One Book Westwood
This year's One Book Westwood choice is Sheila Burnford's award winning classic, The Incredible Journey. This 1961 novel became a best seller after Disney released a movie version in 1963 (check it out from the Library.) The story tells the exciting adventures of three pets making an amazing trek of 300 miles through the Canadian wilderness to reunite with their owners. Though the book was not written for children, it did win prestigious awards for children's literature and is the perfect all ages book to keep with our summer reading theme: tales and tails! Copies of the book, the original Walt Disney movie and the 1993 movie Homeward Bound, are available at the Library or can be requested here.
