How about a poster for the library? This year’s poster is the real High Water Tower in Cochem. It’s the inspiration for the beloved Palace Agricultural Library in the books. The High Water Tower stands below the Cochem castle, on the bank of the Mosel River. The beautiful castles along the Mosel and Rhine Rivers inspired the fictional world of the Seven Kingdoms.

TROUBLE AT THE VALENTINE FACTORY
Will the Seven Kingdoms be the friendliest place in the world? Or the rudest?
About the Book:
The eleven-year-old royal Saffron twins—Princess Saffy and Prince Magellan–have to save the Seven Kingdoms from the Blackfly Queen’s dangerous new magical candies!
The trouble starts when the Blackfly Queen introduces a brand-new holiday guaranteed to make her the most beloved queen in the Seven Kingdoms: Valentine’s Day!?!
This year, Valentine’s Day falls on the same day as the Rose Monday Parade. Instead of delighting the crowds with traditional candies, the queen has a dastardly plan. She’s making Consternation Hearts with magical powers, a.k.a. candy hearts with messages good for every day of the year . . . like “Go to the Water Dungeon!”
