I'm thrilled to receive this blurb from my old friend and mentor, Ann Chandonnet:

Shades of Tolkien and J. M. Barrie! Visual artist and art teacher Teresa Ascone has branched out to create her own Alaskan Never-Never Land peopled with Berry Fairies. The second book in the series, Lizzie Scarlet, continues the imaginative history of the kingdom created in the first book. Ascone's illustrations intertwine foliage reminiscent of the Book of Kells with hues borrowed  from the Northern Lights, as well as glittering apparel that any child would love to wear. Parents and grandparents will appreciate the lessons in responsibility and harmony, while kids will delight in the fanciful detail. From Glommers to Musk Ox Cheese, from sly references to Seldovia, the Sleeping Lady and the Matanuska Valley, Lizzie Scarlet brings a brand new myth--and plenty of mischief-- to the Far North.
