Dappled Annie and the Tigrish is a beautifully written novel about nature, siblings, bravery and a touch of something magical.

9-year-old Annie goes to play one hot summer while her father works up at the lighthouse. One after another, an earthquake and a terrible wind leave Annie with losses that seem irreplaceable. Her little brother Robbie emerges as the only person who can help her find what she’s lost. Him and the tigrish.
