Brigid Kemmerer is one of those authors that I find to be very reliable in that her writing is always consistent, no matter what genre she tackles. I’m partial to her contemporary fiction, but recently have decided to explore more of her fantasy series.

Elatsoe is set in an recognizable but slightly different contemporary America, where magic and magical beings are commonplace. People can travel by Fairy Ring (it’s regulated); vampires have rights (and “old age” homes); and magic can be studied in university.

“Bravery meant the possibility of death. And wasn’t that funny? Because it took being dead for Wallace to finally be brave.” 

Drop in to the Teen Room on Monday nights anytime from 5-8pm and hang out and relax before the week gets away from you. We'll have board games, Nintendo Switch games, music, crafts, and more. Bring a friend or two!

Get your lighting, costumes, and props and make a spooky short video for our October contest. The Dreadtime Stories for Teens contest runs from October 1-November 1. Click on this post for more info, including rules & instructions on filming, submissions, prizes, and the judging process.
