Full Tilt
by Neal Shusterman
(Grades 7-8)
Wednesday, July 23rd 4:00-5:30
Registration begins July 1st
Sixteen-year-old Blake has always been the responsible one in his
dysfunctional family -- the one who drives safely, gets good grades, and
looks after his wild younger brother, Quinn. Quinn is his brother's
opposite -- a thrill-seeker who's always chasing the next scary rush, no
matter what the cost. But Quinn and Blake are in for the surprise of
their lives when they're thrust into the world of a bizarre phantom
carnival -- and their souls are the price of admission.
In order to save his brother, and himself, Blake must survive seven
different carnival rides before dawn. Seven rides...it sounds easy. But
each ride is full of unexpected dangers, because each ride is a
reflection of one of Blake's deepest fears. And the last ride is the
worst one of all. Because that's the one that confronts Blake with a
terrifying secret from his past -- a secret he's been running from for
years.
Full of roller-coaster twists and turns, Neal Shusterman's latest
page-turner is an Orpheus-like adventure into one boy's psyche.
Twilight
by
Stephenie Meyer
(High School)
Wednesday, July 30th 4:00-5:30
About three things I was absolutely positive:
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him–and I didn’t know how dominant that part
might be–that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
Stephenie Meyer's thrilling debut novel is a love story with a bite. In
this suspenseful and sensual tale, 17-year-old Isabella moves to a small
town in Washington State and gets more excitement than she bargained for
when she falls for an enigmatic classmate -- who happens to be a
vampire. Filled with fantastic mystery and romance, it's a
heart-stopping novel that captures the struggle between defying our
instincts and satisfying our desires.
Registration and pick up a copy of the book on or after July 1st.
Snacks will be served. Discussion is limited to 15 people.
