The Statue of Liberty

 

An important site in Brook and Piper: The Room with No Door , is the Statue of Liberty. For more than a century, the statue welcomed  generations of immigrants and refugees to the United States. Liberty Island is open to the public 365 days per year for no charge. Ferry boats, for which there is a charge, bring visitors from both New York and New Jersey. Reservations need to be made in advance for the full experience of entering the statue and climbing the 354 steps to the crown. The torch, and the ladder to reach it, is not open to the public. Also on the island are a museum with interactive displays, artifacts and a gallery with the original 1886 torch. Free 35 minute tours meet at the flagpole. 

Served by the same ferry boats is Ellis Island where new arrivals to the United States were processed before being taken to Manhattan. Many American families can trace their arrival in the US to this location.

Brooke and Piper: The Room With No Door 

Book Two of the Brooke and Piper Trilogy has Been Released!

Just two days after their chilling adventure in the flooding tunnels beneath the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Egyptian Temple of Dendur, seventh-grade New Yorkers Brooke Robbins and Piper Lewis reunite to save a beloved American monument from terrorists’ destruction. The Room with No Door, the second book in the Brooke and Piper Trilogy, continues the story…

Since their recruitment into a generations-old secret society of women, dedicated to helping New Yorkers in peril, and with the help of a 13-year-old paralyzed science whiz, a world-famous stage illusionist, a Chinese martial arts master, and others, the girls deepen their trust in each other and rely on the skills they find within themselves and develop through never-ending challenges. Always a shadow over the girls’ lives, but bringing them even closer together, is the unexplained absence each suffers from a missing parent.

Author and artist George Woideck brings his love of New York, science, magic and adventure to this Young Adult, Urban Fantasy story of friendship, daring and resolve.
