Books with author Bruce McMillan

Bruce McMillan (born in 1947) is a contemporary American author of children books and a photo-illustrator living in Shapleigh, Maine. Born in Massachusetts, he grew up in Bangor, Maine, and Kennebunkport, Maine, and received a degree in biology from the University of Maine. His interest in biology is often reflected in his books' topics. Only a very brave little girl could do what Chrissy does. Unafraid, she enters the house on the hill when she hears a faint call from within. It's the voice of a lonely, abandoned doll-a ghost doll. An eerie adventure awaits her in this haunted house. And though she thinks of running out more than once, she doesn't. Instead, courageous Chrissy reaches out to the lonely ghost doll and at the end of the story, she finds a happy surprise, as will every young reader! The book is illustrated with photographs taken in a house built in 1812 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Captain Lord Mansion is located in Kennebunkport, Maine.
