The story
He was fine on top of the fridge.
Then one bright morning at the lake, he decided it was time for an adventure.
Usually, this little moose sits quietly on top of the fridge. At least most of the time. But one bright morning at the lake, he decides it is time for an adventure.
From floating across the water to zooming past the docks, this mischievous moose is officially on the loose, with Jace chasing after him. Can anyone keep up with his wild cottage escapades, or will he outsmart everyone on the water?
Moose On The Loose is a heartwarming picture book about family, outdoor fun, and long summer days by the lake. It is built for bedtime read-alouds, and for young readers heading off on their own next big adventure.
The moose in question. Every escapade in the book started with this one.

Story and watercolours, with Nina Purdy
My name is Jace, and I began writing books with Nina 4 years ago. They are books about our experiences on the lake where we have our cottage. As a teenager, I am excited to be able to share my first book with you. I look forward to publishing more in the near future.
