Want to discuss your favorite (or most hated) books? Look no further.
Teen Book Club meets every 4th Monday @ 6 pm in Patti’s Place
Teen Book Club at NDL is a free choice book discussion. Meet Ms. Tara in Patti’s Place to chat about books. It can be the latest book you’ve read, your favorite book of all time, or even a book you absolutely hated.
Ms. Tara will read a different YA book to discuss each month. If you would like to read the same book, we’ll have copies available to pick up.
Upcoming Librarian Picks:
November 25 | Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson
Book Description: As the Revolutionary War begins, thirteen-year-old Isabel wages her own fight…for freedom. Promised freedom upon the death of their owner, she and her sister, Ruth, in a cruel twist of fate become the property of a malicious New York City couple, the Locktons, who have no sympathy for the American Revolution and even less for Ruth and Isabel. When Isabel meets Curzon, a slave with ties to the Patriots, he encourages her to spy on her owners, who know details of British plans for invasion. She is reluctant at first, but when the unthinkable happens to Ruth, Isabel realizes her loyalty is available to the bidder who can provide her with freedom.
December 16 | American Royals by Katharine McGee
Book Description: What if America had a royal family?
When America won the Revolutionary War, its people offered General George Washington a crown. Two and a half centuries later, the House of Washington still sits on the throne.
At an upcoming turning point in history, the three royal siblings: Princess Beatrice, Princess Samantha, and Prince Jefferson are experiencing their own struggles. The siblings question their duty to the throne, break some rules, and maybe even some hearts.
January 27 | What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez
Book Description: Bolivian-Argentinian Inez Olivera belongs to the glittering upper society of nineteenth century Buenos Aires, and like the rest of the world, the town is steeped in old world magic that’s been largely left behind or forgotten. Inez has everything a girl might want, except for the one thing she yearns the most: her globetrotting parents—who frequently leave her behind.
The Mummy meets Death on the Nile in this lush, immersive historical fantasy set in Egypt filled with adventure, a rivals-to-lovers romance, and a dangerous race.
