Sierra's comfortable life as a dryad might go up in flames if she can't convince her nature-loving family of dryads that computers are just as natural as trees. At the old age of 14, she's relieved when she finally bonds with a tree. But her tree isn't physical—it's digital. Digital Dryad is the first book in a new middle grade fantasy series for girls. If you like girls who code, engaging fantasy set in the modern world, and exciting juxtapositions of programming and magic, then you'll love this new book by web developer and author Jennifer Kyrnin. People are talking about Digital Dryad: "A well done novel of old magic and new technology woven together." ~Tony Fecteau "Very different than what I expected from a story about dryads. But there were quite a bit of dryad legends and myths in there, both aspects helping this to be a nice story." ~Dion Scott Desjardins Read this sample of this exciting new series where dryads are real and they attend middle school.
