Porter Square Books: Delia Sherman, The Magic Mirror of the Mermaid Queen (July 8 at 7:00pm)
Neef, the official Changeling of Central Park, has gone on a life-threatening quest and faced down a dragon, but that looks like a piece of cake compared to her first day at school. At Miss Van Loon’s School for Mortal Changelings—and that’s pronounced “Van Lo-en’s,” if you please—she meets ... (more)her counterparts from all over Manhattan, learns the basics of diplomacy and simple magic, and memorizes what seems like an endless list of rules. She also makes an enemy: Tiffany of the Upper East Side, queen bee of the school. But all that pales when Central park and all of Manhattan’s green places are threatened. If New York Harbor’s Mermaid Queen doesn't get her magic mirror back, she's going to turn the city's fresh water to salt… and everything and everyone Neef knows will die. It's up to Neef to save the day. Again. And this time, she has changeling friends. Delia Sherman was born in Tokyo, Japan and raised in New York City, where she now lives. She is the author of numerous short stories and three adult fantasy novels, as well as the predecessor to this book,Changeling. She has twice been nominated for the World Fantasy Award, and has won they Mythopoeic Award. She is one of the founders and president of the Interstitial Arts Foundation.
