“Annie the Mule goes to the State Fair”

Annie undertakes another comical adventure, this time at the North Carolina State Fair, in book four of a 10-part series. Young Denise and her farm family are celebrating their harvest success by visiting the fair. Denise, who is afraid of the farm’s mule named Annie, hopes that Annie doesn’t follow her. But stubborn Annie hijacks a Raleigh Transit Bus in route to the Capital City and pops wheelies in the parking lot before finding Denise. The series is written by Cheryl Brown-Avery, a motivational speaker based in Kittrell, Vance County. Brown-Avery, a former teacher, travels to schools across the state and U.S. to speak to youth about gangs and drugs. Published by Lulu.com in Morrisville, the book is softcover, 42 pages and sells for $16.30. www.lulu.com and www.cherylbrownavery.com
