Looking for a book w/ very little info. It was a novel my 5th grade teacher read to the class in 1984 or 1985. All I know is the title was “Alee” (or contained that word) and the cover was a drawing of a girl walking in strong wind. I remember it was about a young girl making it on her own and there was a storm and tumbleweeds. It would have been a children’s or young adults book. Sorry – I know that’s not much to go on.
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
A “lee” is a shelter from the wind/storm, so it’s possible that is two words ” a lee” instead of one word, ” alee”. I will help search, it sounds like an interesting book.
Probably not it at all…but in the book The Lions Paw by Robb White, the boat is called the Hard A Lee. It does have a girl and a storm, but there’s much more to the book. Still…
Long shot, but I thought of ‘Brave Irene’ by William Steig. It’s a picture book, but a long one.
