WebEx Live: Virtual Book Club for Grades 6-8

Read a book selected last month by your peers, then join in a virtual meeting with other readers your own age to discuss your thoughts on the book or just to visit. Grades 6-8. Registration is required.

Our reader-chosen book this month is If You're Out There by Katy Loutsenhiser.  Here's a teaser from the publisher:

"After Zan's best friend moves to California, she is baffled and crushed when Priya suddenly ghosts. Worse, Priya's social media has turned into a stream of ungrammatical posts chronicling a sunny, vapid new life that doesn't sound like her at all.

Everyone tells Zan not to be an idiot: Let Priya do her reinvention thing and move on. But until Zan hears Priya say it, she won't be able to admit that their friendship is finished.

It's only when she meets Logan, the compelling new guy in Spanish class, that Zan begins to open up about her sadness, her insecurity, her sense of total betrayal. And he's just as willing as she is to throw himself into the investigation when everyone else thinks her suspicions are crazy.

Then a clue hidden in Priya's latest selfie introduces a new, deeply disturbing possibility: Maybe Priya isn't just not answering Zan's emails.

Maybe she can't."

The book is available on Hoopla in audiobook and ebook formats.  It can also be checked out in physical form from your local branch!
