If you (or a teen in your life) are interested in joining a book club, but don’t want to leave the comfort of your home, you’re in luck! We have an online book club for teens (grades 7-12) that meets once a month. The next three books are chosen and are across a variety of genres so hopefully there is something for everyone.
For the March meeting on Wednesday March 20th at 6:30 p.m. the pick is Echoes and Empires by Morgan Rhodes. Snarky seventeen-year-old Josslyn Drake gets infected by a dangerous piece of forbidden magic and teams up with wanted criminal Jericho Nox to remove the spell corrupting her soul. This is a fast-paced, epic fantasy that would be good for fans of Furyborn by Claire Legrand.
In April we are reading the much beloved Heartstopper, Volume 1 by Alice Oseman. This coming of age, romance graphic novel follows Charlie and Nick who are at the same school, but they’ve never met until one day when they’re made to sit together. They quickly become friends, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick, even though he doesn’t think he has a chance. But love works in surprising ways, and Nick is more interested in Charlie than either of them realised. With the TV show adaptation recently getting a second season, and with the fifth volume having just come out, now is the perfect time to get into this series.
Finally, in May the pick is Rogue Princess by B.R. Myers, a sci-fi retelling of Cinderella. Delia must marry in order to secure an alliance and save her failing planet but, hoping for true love, she steals a spaceship and finds Aidan, a handsome stowaway, aboard in this retelling of Cinderella. This one would appeal to fans of Victoria Aveyard or Holly Black’s work.
