Book & Lyrics by Tim J. Lord
Music & Lyrics by Avi Amon
One week ago, a massive flood wiped away most of Arcady. Unable to contact her family and trapped in the library, a young girl named Artemis has built the place into her sanctuary. Trying to find a way back to her Aunt Maggie’s house, Artemis soon learns of a new danger—a committee determined to claim the town for themselves. Follow Artemis, Aunt Maggie, and even a talking heron in the fight to save Arcady. Crafted with complexity and rich emotions, Artemis’ character illustrates that when she brings her whole self—disability, determination, imagination, and problem solving—to a challenge, she is strong. Through her journey, she discovers power and purpose in rebuilding her town to be better for everyone.
