Here is a story of pioneers, crickets, and seagulls—and of one bird who is not just any seagull, but Archibald Airmaster the Seventeenth, descended from a long noble line of North American gulls.

In this charming, imaginative tale by popular fiction author Susan Evans McCloud, Archibald finds his quiet world on the shores of the Great Salt Lake changed forever by the arrival of the pioneers and the miracle that brings them together.
