Wyndano's Cloak is going to the Jerusalem International Book Fair

Feb. 14, 2011 - PRLog -- Wyndano's Cloak, a fantasy novel for children, will be displayed at the Jerusalem International Book Fair, February 20 – 25, 2011. The U.S. Commerce Department will display Wyndano's Cloak in the USA Pavilion, and will help match titles to publishers and distributors interested in purchasing foreign rights and titles in Israel.

Wyndano's Cloak delivers an inspiring message for young people to believe in themselves and to trust the treasures they carry inside. In the novel, the kingdom of Aerdem is threatened. Fourteen-year-old Jen has one chance to save it—with a magical cloak too dangerous to use. The fantasy adventure that unfolds will appeal to children, ages nine and up, and adults who cherish fairy tales. Jen's quest for empowerment in the face of dire adversity has universal appeal. The result is a gripping tale of loyalty and betrayal, love and hate, and the yearning of the spirit.
