Children’s Book Author to Appear at New York Summer Library Events

JAMESTOWN, N.Y. - July 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Children’s book author Concetta Kennedy is kicking off the summer reading season with exciting appearances at two New York libraries.  

Kennedy, the author of the captivating and imaginative children’s chapter book The Enchanting World of Garden Irene McGeeney, will first appear July 15 at the James Prendergast Library at 509 Cherry St., in Jamestown, New York, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. Another reading is scheduled for July 24 at the Farman Free Library in Ellington, New York.

The July 15 appearance is being held in conjunction with the Prendergast library’s 2013 Summer Reading Challenge. This year’s youth summer reading campaign is titled “Dig Into Reading,” and Kennedy’s appearance is themed “Under The Earth,” a reference to the enchanting and mysterious home of main character Garden Irene.

About the Book

To her family’s Pleasant Street neighbors, Garden Irene’s small house looks pretty normal. But what they don’t know is that this tiny dwelling is just a disguise. It’s really the entrance to a majestic underground castle, a family secret Garden Irene accidently reveals in school one day. Garden Irene’s unique home piques the interest of her friend Peter Pranston. Even though she’s not supposed to talk about or let anyone inside her family’s magical dwelling, Garden Irene decides to take Peter on a tour. She quickly finds herself in a difficult situation, as she navigates the competing desires of indulging her friend’s curiosity and respecting her family’s privacy. And Peter learns that he has to help out his friend, as she may get in trouble for revealing the secrets of her family’s home.

In addition to engaging young readers’ imaginations, Kennedy’s chapter book teaches valuable lessons about the importance of truth, friendship, respect, and admitting and learning from mistakes. Kennedy’s events will be amazing opportunities for young readers (those going into third grade or higher) to meet the author of The Enchanting World of Garden Irene McGeeney and get a jump start on summer reading.
