Hubbo O’Driscoll, the earnest young hero from Easy Avenue, is back. He’s living at Mushrat Creek in the Gatineau Hills and has found a new job as curator for the local covered bridge. Things seem to be looking up for Hubbo – until he learns that the covered bridge is going to be torn down for a new bridge. His job is over before it has begun. But Hubbo is resourceful, and with a little ingenuity – as well as the assistance of a ghost, a love-struck mailman and the local priest – he sets out to save the covered bridge, and his new job, from senseless demolition.
