...THE GULLY...

THE GULLY was off limits to anyone or anything! But,on that rainy summmer day in 1947, six children were willing to place their lives in danger for the love of a pet! The old timers warned over and over. Do not go into the gully or the lower ridge! In years past, hangings occurred on the high ridge above the monstrous hole. Death would come; the rope would be cut,and the bodies would disappear into the belly of the gully! The six youngsters were aware of all the dreadful stories of the gully. Did they hesitate to enter the gully? Yes...but, their tomcat friend, Cat, needed their help. They were taught. One does not forsake a friend! Experience extreme love and bravery, among the youngsters, as you travel with them into THE GULLY!

The concept of allowing something as ordinary as a missing pet ...To lead the children into a tangled web of misadventures is interesting! Having the grandfather's spirit aid them in the escape from the gully was a nice touch. This added an element of whimsy. The characters are likable! The children are all sweet and entertaining. Some of the dialogue is charming and amusing. Even though the children are from the 1940's, today's generation can easily relate to them. The story is believable and I appreciate the author's style of presenting her fictional tale! This is perfect reading for the young reader and their family.
