Covered Bridge Brian Doyle First Trade Paper edition

Hubbo O'Driscoll, the earnest young hero from Easy Avenue, is back. He's living at Mushrat Creek in the Gatineau Hills and has found a new job as curator for the local covered bridge. Things seem to be looking up for Hubbo - until he learns that the covered bridge is going to be torn down for a new bridge. His job is over before it has begun. But Hubbo is resourceful, and with a little ingenuity - as well as the assistance of a ghost, a love-struck mailman and the local priest - he sets out to save the covered bridge, and his new job, from senseless demolition.
