The trumpet of the swan is a story about Lewis, a cygnet, raised on marshy land in Canada. He is a trumpeter swan who doesn’t have a voice. His father stole a trumpet so that he could speak. To pay back the debt his father owed to the music store, he learnt to play a trumpet and earn money from many jobs. With the help of Sam Beaver, a boy, who had known him since childhood, he learns to read and write in a school. He gets a job in a zoo and he falls in love with another swan. Sam Beaver frees him from the zoo. In the end the debt is paid, they live happily and all is well.

It was good and interesting. It teaches us that debts should be paid back and if you want something in the end you shall achieve it. This is a story about the friendship between a boy and a swan. This story also tells us that friendship comes in unique forms. Lovely read!!
