A stranger looking for a gift that says "forever"
Cliffhanger endings
A new twist on a fairy tale
A goat named Dog



All of these things and more are found in Julie Berry's debut novel, Amaranth Enchantment. This new author came to visit the Newark Public Library on April 22nd. We had 16 teens plus several adults listen to Julie speak about her writing process, her funny stories and her adventures in all things historical fantasy-fairy tales.
