PEACHTREE CITY,
Ga., Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Gallopade
International recently announced the release of an all-new series
by award-winning author Carole
Marsh. In "The Mystery of the Haunted Library," the
author-turned-character and her rescue pup, Coconut, join four
adventurous kids from the fictional Spanish Moss School as they
travel to solve mysteries in some of the world's most famous
libraries.
Get ready for suspense, discovery, history,
and FUN in "The Mystery of the Haunted Library" series, ages
6-14!
Inspired by librarians at the American
Association of School Libraries (AASL) conference, Marsh's latest
release honors libraries' importance in shaping young minds. Her
passion shines through, encouraging readers to view these
institutions as hubs of discovery and learning, not just knowledge
repositories.
"I grew up going to libraries. If I could, I
would have lived in one. Sitting in a chair and reading until the
library closed was my favorite thing from age six. We never want
kids to think of libraries as boring or unessential," says Marsh.
"A library is where answers are, where we find our passions, and
where we match our interests to what we might become!"
"My goal is to highlight that libraries are cool
places to be, to present examples of kids of all ages interacting
with adults in today's world and building mutual interests and
respect, to show young people collaborating, solving, and other
essential skills," Marsh states. "After all, they're going where we
can't go: to a future where kids need the confidence and abilities
to change the world!"
The author garnered accolades for her popular
"Real Kids - Real Places" series and has created a new cast of
characters and adventures for a new generation of readers. In this
captivating chapter book series, the author weaves fiction with
narrative non-fiction and engaging graphic novel illustrations to
keep kids reading as each page-turn reveals a new surprise. Her
goal is to instill a love of reading, an appreciation of
collaboration to solve problems, and a fascination with historical
facts. As a finishing touch, she included Coconut, her real-life
rescue pup, in the series, as she has gained a loveable reputation
among Marsh's fan base.
"At a time when kids are stressed, a book can be
a companion," insists the author. "And adding a lively, lovable dog
adds charm and comedy like nothing else can!"
The new six-book series for ages 6-14 is now
available for purchase at gallopade.com and Amazon.
