Ruth and David's search for their father--and the second Ancient Relic of Alchemy--takes them to a secret underwater world in the Caribbean Sea. Deep below the surface, they confront extraordinary dangers and summon all their courage in order to find a cave that will take them to the center of an aquatic civilization. Once there, they must convince the members to part with one of their most valuable possessions.
Born in the small town of Norwich, Connecticut, Ami spent a vast amount of her childhood exploring the woods and developing her sense of adventure through imagination. Ami realized at a young age she treasured the art of story telling. She found great inspiration in the works of Jim Henson, C.S.Lewis, J.R.Tolkien, Brian Froud and Steven Speilberg.
In 1995, Ami realized she wanted to write and illustrate children's books.
In 2006 Ami graduated with her B.F.A from The Atlanta College of Art and her first children's book published by Red Cygnet Press. Ami believes that Quest for the Dragon Stone is her first milestone in a long and exciting career.
The road to publication has been paved by hard work and patience. Ami hopes that adults will be as enchanted with her work as children and says, "Anything you can dream may be accomplished, it is only a matter of setting one's mind to it."
