Treasure at Sandbanks Children's Book Launch with Lynne Grist

CHILDREN’S TIME-TRAVEL STORY LAUNCHES AT PICTON BRANCH LIBRARY 

On Saturday, May 20 at 11:00 a.m. a book for young readers will be launched in the children’s room at the Picton Library. Treasure at Sandbanks is an adventure story for children aged 8 to 11, about a sister and brother who find a magic key while they are vacationing in Prince Edward County. This key takes them back in time over and over in search of a legendary treasure buried at Outlet Beach in 1758. In their travels, they encounter wild animals, First Nations people, and settlers from the early days of PEC, and discover there are things in life more valuable than gold.

The author, Lynne Grist, is a retired teacher who moved to the County in 2011. While she lived beside the Pettet Cemetery in West Lake, she became interested in local history and began researching the County’s early inhabitants. Lynne is creating a children’s series called THE KEY TO TIME, which features both real and imagined characters from history. The first book in the series is illustrated by two local artists, Teresa Westervelt and Thomas Harrison.

Join Lynne Grist on May 20 to hear about Treasure at Sandbanks and acquire your own signed copy. It will be available at the beginning of May at select stores throughout the County, or by contacting the author directly at
