The Books
The Call of the Loon Series
Although a boy and his dog are at the heart of these stories, The Call of the Loon is not a children’s series. It is childhood remembered through the eyes of the man that boy became: a warm, sometimes humorous, and deeply reflective journey through the adventures, hardships, relationships, and hard-won lessons that shape a life. These books are for anyone who has ever looked back and wondered how the child they once were became the person they are today.
Four Calls.
One Remarkable
Life.
Follow a boy and his sled dog through four defining seasons of adventure and becoming. Each book stands alone. Together, they tell the story of one ordinary life shaped by extraordinary people.
“We don’t discover the meaning of our lives by looking ahead. We discover it by remembering where we’ve been.”
A note from Jerre Blodgett...
There comes a time in life when many of us begin looking backward, not with regret, but with gratitude.
We begin to see that our lives were shaped by countless ordinary moments and extraordinary people who quietly helped make us who we are.
That’s what these books are about.
I wrote them first for my children and grandchildren. My family encouraged me to share them with you.
My hope is simple. That somewhere in these pages you’ll smile, remember, and perhaps begin seeing your own life as the remarkable story it has always been.
