Ann Marie Meyers
Up in the Air
When I first began reading this children’s book, I thought, “Kids will like this. It’s fun, it’s imaginative and it’s easy to read. But the further I got into the book, the more I realized it was not just a kid’s story but also contained lessons for adults.
Ann Marie Meyer presents us with the story of Melody, a girl who wanted more than anything to fly. And fly she does in the magical land of Chimeroan. But she does much more than fly. She learns that flying comes at a cost.
The author uses the story to present some important truths to adults and children alike. At first the reader just wonders at the subtle hints of Melody’s past, but then begins to realize this is more than just another fantasy story set in a magical kingdom. The story has substance.
