Calling all teen readers! Algonquin Library is starting up our first teen-only book club, and YOU ARE INVITED! Your ideas, especially your book recommendations are welcome, so come ready to listen, share, and of course, eat.
The first meeting will be discussing Meg Rosoff's How I Live Now but the next book will be chosen by YOU! Pick up a copy of the book at the Algonquin Main Library on Harnish Drive. (By HD Jacobs and Target)
How I Live Now Description:
Manhattanite Daisy, 15, moves to London to stay with an aunt and cousins she's never met. Without preamble or fanfare, an unidentified enemy attacks and war ensues. Her aunt is abroad on a peace mission, meaning that Daisy and her three cousins, with whom she forges a remarkable relationship, must survive almost entirely on their own. This is a very relatable contemporary story, told in honest, raw first-person and filled with humor, love, pathos, and carnage. War, as it will, changes these young people irrevocably, not necessarily for the worse. They and readers know that no one will ever be the same. (from Kirkus Reviews, July 14, 2004 and NoveList)
