Why should your kids get to have all the fun? I've posted before about the utter fabulousness of Young Adult fiction and why grown-ups like us love it too. Well, now you can discover and/or share a love for these books with our new book discussion group: Forever YA. Folks aged 16 and up are invited to read The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness and join us for a book discussion on Wednesday, October 19 from 7-8 p.m. in the Houghton Room. In this award-winning dystopian story, young Todd Hewitt is trying to survive on a colonized planet where all boys become men at 13. Because of a virus, men can hear each other's thoughts. And there is never, ever any silence. Todd enjoys the relative quiet of the swamp, but even there he must be careful to avoid mind-reading alligators and the natives of the planet, though they were were supposedly wiped out. This creepy, suspenseful book will thrill up your October.
There's no need to register for the book group. Just check out a copy of the book, and we'll see you at the discussion.
