Meet & Greet with Nicole Hewitt
2025-12-06 11:00 - 14:00 | Blue House Books, 5915 6th Avenue A, Kenosha, WI, 53142, United States
Combining the gentleness of Hayao Miyazaki, the wintry wonderland of “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe”, and the whimsicality of Newbery winner, “The Girl Who Drank the Moon”, Nicole M. Hewitt’s debut middle-grade novel, “The Song of Orphan’s Garden”, is an enchanting fantasy tale with all the makings of a new classic.
Join Nicole at Blue House Books on Saturday, December 6th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nicole will be chatting with readers and signing books, so stop by anytime during the event to meet this Midwest author!
About THE SONG OF ORPHAN’S GARDEN:
In an arctic world that’s getting colder every day, Lyriana’s only hope of survival is to get her little brother Zave and herself to the fabled Orphan’s Garden. It’s rumored to be the one place in the world not controlled by deadly Winter Spirits or ruled by the tyrant Giant king. In Orphan’s Garden, healing trees will melt away Winter’s pains, and Lyriana and Zave can live safely in the warmth of Spring. If the garden exists, they must find it. They won’t live much longer without it.
Brob, a Giant boy, also needs sanctuary. When the Giant king banishes his family to the Winter Blight, it’s a death sentence. Orphan’s Garden is his family’s only hope, and as far as Brob’s concerned, it belongs to him. After all, he was the one who accidentally used an ancient magic to grow the garden years ago. He has no intention of sharing his haven with pesky humans, who will just use up its magic and ruin it.
When it becomes clear that Orphan’s Garden is in danger of being destroyed, Lyriana and Brob are the only ones who can save it—but only if they can put the ages-old battle between Humans and Giants aside and find a way to work together.
About NICOLE M. HEWITT:
Nicole M. Hewitt is a middle grade author living in the Chicago suburbs with her husband, three grown kids, and three overly-enthusiastic pups. She hates to run, but she succeeded in finishing a marathon in 2022. (It was for a good cause!) She enjoys nature but doesn’t see nearly enough of it in Illinois, so her family travels as often as possible. She also loves to sing and can often be heard spontaneously composing incredibly profound songs about the fluffiest members of her family (the dogs, in case you weren’t sure).
Nicole has been a book blogger at Feed Your Fiction Addiction for the past 10 years, where she writes about all the books she loves. She’s a co-rep for SCBWI-IL’s Far North Suburban Network and was a co- mentor for Author Mentor Match Round 8. She was also a homeschool co-op teacher for six years, where she taught writing, theater and more, and currently works part-time as a bookseller. Nicole’s debut middle grade novel in verse, ORPHAN’S SONG, will be released in early 2025. Find out more at NicoleMHewitt.com.
