Sarah Dooley Visits Oct. 27

 

Join author Sarah Dooley for an afternoon of writing and reading to celebrate her new book, Body of Water. The book is geared for readers in grades 5-9, ages 10-14. The book launching event will be held at the Cabell County Public Library at 4:30 pm on Thursday, Oct. 27.

Sarah Dooley is a certified elementary and special education teacher. She teaches writing for middle schoolers at the Main Library on Thursdays at 5pm. In Body of Water, 12-year-old Ember leaves the campground every Wednesday and sneaks back to her burned home to salvage what she can. Though much has been lost -- including Ember's dog, Widdershins --the most difficult thing to salvage is a friendship ruined by the flames.

Sarah Dooley was named a "Flying Start" author by Publishers Weekley for debut novel, Livvie Owen Lived Here. She lived in 24 different places as a child, including an abandoned post office, a tent, and a red cargo van. Her book will be available for sale. For more information, please call the library at 304-528-5700 ext. 141.
