Find Me in Saratoga
Inspired by the History, Mystery, and Folklore of Saratoga Springs, NY
Written by Patrice Mastrianni, Illustrated by David F. Globerson
A wise duck and a mischievous squirrel lead young readers around Saratoga Springs, NY. Together, they discover the early history, mystery, and folklore of the most popular summer resort of its time!
Mineral water, grand hotels, and horses attracted the world’s political and business leaders to a place Natives had regarded as sacred for thousands of years.
Henry the Duck’s “Find Me” map shows where landmarks used to be and where many can still be seen today. Miles the Squirrel shares the details of Saratoga’s battles, graveyards, and ghosts - as only a squirrel can do.
Written with wit and wisdom, this book presents a fascinating historical adventure that appeals to both children and adults.
