Author Talk with Brooke Carnwath
September 11 @ 5:00pm
Country Bookshelf is excited to welcome local author Brooke Carnwath, author of the new middle-grade novel FAR FROM THE OCEAN’S EDGE, on September 11 at 5pm.
ABOUT FAR FROM THE OCEAN’S EDGE
Twelve-year-old Milly Stewart grew up beside the sea; she tracked tides and tidepools, seabirds and starfish—and dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. Milly also dreamed of finding her long-lost father and finally completing her family.
So, when Milly’s summer takes a turn and she and her mom travel from Maine to rural Wyoming to help ailing grandparents, opportunity strikes. And by the end of three weeks—with the unlikely help of nine-year old Tuck and her curmudgeon of a grandfather—Milly not only learns about rodeo, riding and wildfires, she discovers her father is in plain sight.
