The Trumpet of the Swan
a novel by E. B. White
On a wilderness pond in Canada, a trumpeter swan cygnet is hatched without a voice — and Louis’s fight to be heard becomes one of E. B. White’s wisest stories. A boy named Sam teaches him to read and write; a proud father steals him a brass trumpet from a Billings music store; and Louis spends the whole novel earning it back — camp bugler, Boston Swan Boat star, Philadelphia headliner — until the debt is paid, his honor is clean, and the beautiful Serena answers his dawn serenade. These 8 Part workbooks cover the full novel (21 chapters), with vocabulary, comprehension, literary analysis, Think Deeper reasoning, SAT & TOEFL-style practice, and writing, all built on real-world CLIL background.
