A Hiking Fiasco

Melissa Franchi is passionate about literature, teaching, the mountains, and spending time with her family. She spends many days exploring the outdoors, baking, and reading countless children's books to her daughter, Eleanor. She lives in Mason, NH on a small farm with her husband, Gus. This story is based on a hike up a local mountain (Mount Watatic in Ashburnham, MA) that she and Ellie hike often - Ellie comfortably perched in her hiking backpack.
