Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

We'll be reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson for our next meeting, which will be at the end of December/beginning of January.



I overrode the votes for this one...sorry, but I think it's important to read and discuss!

If you want a copy, please contact Natalie to get your own!



Melinda Sordino busted an end-of-summer party by calling the cops. Now her old friends won't talk to her, and people she doesn't even know hate her from a distance. The safest place to be is alone, inside her own head. But even that's not safe. Because there's something she's trying not to think about, something about the night of the party that, if she let it in, would blow her carefully constructed disguise to smithereens. And then she would have to speak the truth.

Our meeting

We will be meeting on Friday, November 5th, around 4:15/4:20.

We'll meet at the Main Library this time, shortly after Harry Potter #2 is over.

We'll be discussing Impossible by Nancy Werlin.

Hope to see you there!!

Impossible by Nancy Werlin

Lucy is seventeen when she discovers she is the latest recipient of a generations-old family curse that requires her to complete three seemingly impossible tasks or risk falling into madness and passing the curse on to the next generation. Unlike her ancestors, though, Lucy has family, friends, and other modern resources to help her out. But will it be enough to conquer this age-old evil? And will she have the time--she has to figure it all out and break the curse before her daughter is born.

This is the next book for the Teen Book Club. Haven't gotten your copy yet? Make sure to let Natalie know!

I can't make it to the next meeting (today) but...

I loved Hunger Games, while being terrified of it at the same time because I'm a huge scaredy cat. : ) The suspense was killing me toward the last half of the book so I sat down and finished it. The ending was in your face and I was, again, terrified. I couldn't believe what the capital did with the losers of the game. I was shocked. I really wish Katniss understood Peeta more because Peeta=♥! lol anyway, it was supergood, and even after I finished it I couldn't stop thinking about it!

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Katniss is a 16-year old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used to be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called "The Hunger Games". The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat's sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.
