The Trumpet of the Swan
Ratings25
Average rating4.2
Louis, a romantic swan, is in love with the angelic Serena, but he can't tell her how he feels; he has no voice. When he meets eleven-year-old Sam Beaver, a human friend, he goes to school with him to learn how to read and write. Louis' father also helps out; he steals a brass trumpet for his son. In the end, Louis learns to play, wins Serena's heart, and repays the music shop owner for his stolen trumpet.
Here is a wonderful story of romance, friendship, and determination among animals and humans.

Louis is a young swan who cannot speak. When his father steals a trumpet for him, he is thrilled but troubled about the debt his father incurred. He goes to work to earn the money to pay for the trumpet.
Sam is a young boy who loves the outdoors and observing the Wild life in their natural habitat. He befriends Louis' family and he and Louis become closer friends. Sam and Louis work together at a boys camp for the summer, and then Louis heads off to look for more work.
Great read and fun to see the new adventures Louis gets into!
I love reading books I read as a child as an adult. This book will always have a special place in my heart especially since it's been almost two decades since I read this book. I love the character development, pacing, and plot of this book. If you have a child, please let them read this book for them to remember for years to come.
