    Letters to a Root-Beer Flavored Moon by Evangeline Crow

    Casper “Copper” Denali is your average guy; well, your average guy with a male-oriented love life, and an eccentric best friend and on-and-off boyfriend, Tomas “Tom” Raynor, whom he’s known since he was eight. There are some major problems, though. The first on the list in October of 2013 is the fact that he’s just found out that his younger sister is pregnant (by Tom), that his other childhood friend, Alice Lidden, is about to move away, and that his favorite bookstore just closed. 

    To top it all off, Casper picks up a small bottle at the beach, a bottle which contains a postcard with a fantastical looking device on it, the words ‘wish you were here’, a small journal entry, and a return address from some place called ‘Atlantis’.

    As Copper’s family slowly disintegrates around him, he’s forced to make a leap of faith, and try to meet up with his Atlantean penpal. 

    All this while the bridges that hold the water out of Atlantis are slowly cracking, and one Atlantean discovers that his penpal is suddenly making a trip to the world of the deep to come see him.

    Elena Giavaldi was born in a small town in northern Italy, and moved to New York in 2008 to look for fortune (yes, in the middle of a world financial crisis). After having worked in Italian book publishing, she finally had the chance to taste the American version. She worked for Rodrigo Corral and freelanced for different publisher. She is currently Art Director at Mucca Design.
