As springtime approaches, we�re excited to offer our very first Family Weekend at the Astor House!� The event will be all about the magic of reading and sharing adventures together.� Tom and I have enjoyed hosting many guests who have traveled to the Inn with their kids.� We felt inspired to create a weekend, especially with our young visitors in mind.� May 13th-15th will be geared towards middle graders who visit the Astor House with a parent or guardian for a memorable and meaningful experience.
We�re honored to welcome Penguin Random House author Lorelei Savaryn as our special guest for this fun event!� Lorelei is the daughter/step-daughter of your innkeepers and we couldn�t be more proud as she prepares for the release of her second fantasy novel. Lorelei is the author of �The Circus of Stolen Dreams, released in 2020, and �The Edge of In Between,� a magical retelling of the Secret Garden,� which comes out April 19, 2022.
Both books have received Booklist Starred Reviews and are beautiful fantasy novels geared toward middle schoolers.� Read more about these novels here:� https://loreleisavaryn.com/
The Edge of In Between is the theme for this fantastic family weekend.��Guests will receive a Welcome Gift including an autographed copy of each of Lorelei�s novels, a certificate for Happy Joe�s Pizza, and other surprises.� The event will include some social time with Lorelei, a former teacher, and teacher�s coach,� and she�ll read excerpts from her novels as well.� You and your middle grader will be inspired by her personal story of success and by the deep and meaningful themes of her novels.
There�ll also be a Scavenger Hunt in the garden where our guests will be given a list of book-related items they�ll need to hunt for and find in the gardens surrounding the Astor House.� Once they find the items on their list, they�ll be rewarded with a special prize to redeem after the weekend of fun is a memory.� �As the warm-weather season rolls on, an entire section of our garden at the Inn is being permanently dedicated to� The Edge of In Between, drawing our inspiration from Lorelei�s captivating descriptions in the pages of her book.
We�re going all out with special kid-friendly breakfasts, like my Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes with Homemade Strawberry jam.� There�ll also be a very special breakfast to match the one described in The Edge of In Between when Lottie, the main character, shares a meal with a family.
We only have four rooms available for this very special event, so please don�t hesitate to make your reservation and secure your space.� We can�t wait to roll out the red carpet for our young visitors this spring at the Astor House Family Weekend.� Reservations by phone only at 920-432-3585.
