THE BLUE BOTTLE
by Emilie-Noelle Provost
Middle Grade Fiction
Set in Rocky Harbor, a fictional fishing village on Massachusetts' Cape Ann, The Blue Bottle tells the story of 13-year-old Charlotte Hale, the granddaughter of an aging lobsterman, who has been sent to stay for the summer with her grandparents after a less-than-successful school year. On the bus ride there, Charlotte meets an eccentric retired teacher who tells her the story of the blue bottle, a local legend that leads her on a high-stakes quest for an ancient glass bottle, reputed to hold within it all the power of the oceans.

COVER ARTIST LUCY TURNER

     Lucy Turner is an artist living in Scotland, UK.  She lives with her husband and is mother to two children.  
     Lucy creates her work using watercolors, colored pencils, gouache and ink.
She would describe her work as quirky, yet ethereal, and with a childlike quality.
Her favorite things to draw are faces, eyes and the moon and her work often
features surreal elements and inspiration from nature.
     Lucy's work is often moody, brooding and dark but other times can be bright and colorful. Her inspirations change often and can be reflected in her style.
     When Lucy is not making art, she loves to write, listen to music and spend time in her kitchen cooking and baking. Her favorite color is green and she finds spending time in nature and among plants the best way to recharge.
