***Saturday, November 19th, 2-4pm***

About the book:

Coming of age presents a dilemma for Ivey Thornton. She’s a spirited girl with more than her share of strength and intelligence, but no interest in courtship or marriage. Ivey dreams of following in her father’s footsteps, tracking the unknown species of flora and fauna that threaten the world of Aether. Her plans are upended when Arvel Thornton mysteriously arranges her engagement to the reclusive heir of Fenchurche Industries. She boards the airship Monarch with the intention of helping Miles Fenchurche discover a happier future, as long as it doesn’t include her. But something evil has stowed away on Miles’ ship and if Ivey doesn’t learn how to trust him, the greatest adventure of her life might be her last.

About the author:

Cheryl Ammeter is an award-winning scriptwriter who worked for seven seasons on the globally acclaimed children’s program, Barney & Friends. At Radio Disney, she wrote and performed in a wide variety of Disney features. One of her biggest successes at Radio Disney was Generation Girl Theatre, a series of episodic radio plays based on Mattel’s Generation Girls Barbie® books. After years of adhering to production budgets and schedules, her larger-than-life imagination has finally been set free in Ivey and the Airship.

This sci-fi fantasy novel is the first in a five book series called Aether’s Edge. Cheryl is currently at work on book two, Masters of Misfortune.
