Growing up surrounded by his loving family, a young loon doesn't realize he's different until one day when he can't find his way home. Shunned by other loons when he asks for directions, the lonely loon learns about being different the hard way. A story about tolerance, compassion and listening to your heart, The Lonely Loon teaches us to look beyond our differences so we can recognize all that we truly have in common.

It just looks like an old fountain in a garden, nothing remarkable, half-hidden behind stone walls and a grove of trees. But twelve-year-old Cadence soon discovers that it’s remarkably, impossibly difficult to reach. And she also comes to find that she’s not the only one trying to get to it. What starts out as a pretty ordinary, lonely summer vacation, when Cadence goes to stay with the mysterious Mrs. Brier, quickly turns into a rather extraordinary quest. And, along the way, Cadence makes new friends – and enemies - in an adventure that leads her inexorably to the fountain in the garden, to legends, magic, and things well beyond imagining.
