Geoffrey Cook
PERTH AMBOY – The Friends of the Perth Amboy Free Public Library are happy to host Geoffrey Cook on Saturday, April 21st at 1:00 p.m. in the Children’s Room of the Perth Amboy Library located at 196 Jefferson St.
Geoffrey’s book, Veronica and the Volcano, is an exciting adventure story. Ten-year old Veronica lives in a high-tech, gadget-filled house on the slope of an active volcano. Eruptions are part of life, as she watches from the protective shields of her home or from her family’s well-equipped Lava Car. When she leaves on a quest to find rare white volcanic pearls, she leads everyone into a series of incredible adventures.
The book is geared for grades 4-6, with educational elements. It is designed to stir young readers’ interest in science while entertaining them. Kids will root for this brave young girl and while they are cheering her on, they’ll learn as well.
Books will be available for purchase. For more information on Geoffrey, visit his website at www.geoffreycook.com
