Mary Ann Alice McCrank was named for the pretty church bell in the steeple of St. Martin's Church in Martindale. She has the soul of a poet, and Mickey McGuire Jr. is in love with her. Mary Ann Alice is passionately interested in many things, especially the geology of her part of the world -- the Gatineau River country near Ottawa. Her teacher, Patchy Drizzle, shares her enthusiasm for rocks and fossils, many of which can be found along the river and in caves in the famous Paugan Falls. But a new project to dam the river at nearby Low places the rocks, fossils, and falls -- as well as many farms -- in danger. But the dam must go ahead -- and, as with much technological change, it will bring both benefits and hardships to the community. Mary Ann Alice was chosen by The Globe and Mail as one of the Top Ten Children's Books and winner of the IODE Children's Book Award. Author Brian Doyle is the winner of the Canadian Library Association Book of the Year for Children Award and Mr. Christie's Book Award.
