Simon Salamander (ePub)

Mary Powell Wagner is originally from Elkhorn City, KY and grew up in a house about a hundred feet from the Big Sandy River. A self described river rat, she enjoyed more than anything exploring the mountainsides, creeks, and riverbanks surrounding her home, which was the inspiration for her first book, Simon Salamander. As a child, Mary was fascinated with the world of the river critters and brings them to life delightfully in her story of unlikely friendship and adventure. Mary lives in Lexington, Kentucky.
