Join our new teen book club, where we’ll eat pizza, play games, plan bookish community projects, and discuss how books of all genres reflect and influence the world around us. Grades 9-12.
In this meeting, we’ll discuss books featuring strong girls and women of all kinds. You can read one of the selected titles, or just come to talk about any books (or articles, or podcasts, etc.) that fit the theme. We'll also play a mini Escape Room designed around the book selections, with prizes. You don't have to have read the books to solve the puzzles!
Selections:
Watch Us Rise by Renee Watson and Ellen Hagen (contemporary horror)
Girl on Fire, by Alicia Keys (graphic novel)
A Thousand Steps Into Night by Traci Chee (fantasy)
