YOUNGER FICTION
O'Neill, Alexis

Loud Emily

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Nancy Carpenter. A nineteenth-century girl with a voice loud as thunder finds a haven and a home aboard a sailing ship, where her vocal cords are an asset. The illustrations are appropriately jaunty and colorful and the premise nicely improbable, but the additional information provided by the author and illustrator in the endpapers, front matter, and endnotes is more interesting than the story itself. Glos.
