Left on Read: Teen Book Club Wednesday, November 19, 3:30 p.m. Our Left on Read: Teen Book Club meets once a month! Our book for November will be an atmospheric, autumnal classic, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. The summary from Goodreads is as follows: "The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night.
But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway—a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love—a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.
True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus performers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead." Stop by the library and pick up your copy! |

Our November read is My Dog Skip by Willie Morris. The summary from Goodreads is as follows: "This classic story of a boy, a dog, and small-town America is 'a rich experience all around.... Skip turns out to be a dog worth writing about.... I'd take him home in a shot' ( The New York Times Book Review).
In 1943 in a sleepy town on the banks of the Yazoo River, a boy fell in love with a puppy with a lively gait and an intelligent way of listening. The two grew up together having the most wonderful adventures. My Dog Skip belongs on the same shelf as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Russell Baker's Growing Up. It will enchant readers of all ages for years to come." Stop by the library and pick up your copy! |
