ABOUT FISHER JIM
Told in the voice of a 10-year-old, Fisher Jim is the hilarious saga of a boy’s adventures on the ocean. Though names have been changed for fictional purposes, kids will recognize Essex, Ipswich Bay, Lanesville, and many more Cape Ann landmarks in Jim’s story.
HOW THIS ONLINE CHAPTER BOOK WORKS
Just like magazine serials of the 1950s, two illustrated chapters will appear every Wednesday on Elinor’s website, from August 14 until October 23, 2019. Families can enjoy each chapter in a digital form or download it as a PDF for printing.
LOCAL ACTIVITIES
Perfect for reading aloud, Fisher Jim is a true North Shore tale, full of salty humor and local characters. The book site also includes plenty of links to kid-friendly activities and organizations around Cape Ann. Choose your own adventure!
