The Fiddler of the Northern Lights

The Pepin family live in the north woods, and young Henry has listened to and memorized many of his grandpa's stories. One is about the fiddler who makes the Northern Lights dance. Everyone says they are 'just stories', but one night Grandpa and Henry travel upriver in search of the fiddler and something strange and wonderful happens. Written by Natalie Kinsey-Warnock, illustrated by Minnesotan Leslie Bowman, this was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 1997.
