SARATOGA SPRINGS – Native Saratogian and local author Elizabeth Macy is excited to announce the release of her third children’s picture book in the Lucky’s Adventures Series. 

The Lucky’s Adventures Series was inspired by the true story of Elizabeth’s rescue dog Lucky, who was lost in Saratoga for 4 days. Lucky was safely found thanks to the support of the community. The first 2 books are Lucky’s Adventure in Saratoga and Lucky’s Adventure in Winter Wonderland.

In Lucky’s Adventure in the Great Outdoors, Lucky and her sister Hershey the cat go on a family camping trip. They are worried about making new friends with the forest animals.
