A Dog Called Leka — Willard Manus

Ben Edgeworth is an eighteen year old American boy living in Greece

and working in the shipyard with his uncle. Leka comes to Ben as a

hungry stray, searching the shipyard for scraps of food. Leka quickly

proves himself to be a faithful companion in an extraordinary adventure

through the Greek isles on a catamaran built by Ben himself. Together

they overcome danger both on land and on the sea.
