This book is based on a story my son, Luke, told us one day when we were in the car on our way from Green Bay, Wisconsin to Great Lakes, Illinois where he was learning to be a corpsman in the Navy. A corpsman is kind of like a medic. They are trained in the Navy and then serve with either the Navy or the Marines. Their job is to take care of the wounded or sick.
Luke had us in stitches we were laughing so hard, as he told us the story of finding and digging bones in the woods behind our home. I wanted to share a piece of that story with you, although I don’t tell it as well as he.
Description:
Luke and his dog J'amy head into the woods looking for adventure. There they find some buried bones which they decide to dig up and bring home for study. J'amy's imagination gets the better of her as they wonder what sort of animal these bones used to be. Luke keeps a level head, but will that be enough to keep the two friends from having nightmares?
All proceeds from the sale of "No Ordinary Bones" go to The Luke Emch Memorial Scholarship Fund and Semper Fi Fund for wounded Marines.
