Tweens Read: "The Night Gardener" by Jonathan Auxier

"Tweens Read" is a book club just for Tweens (young teens and kids on the verge of their teen years)!

You can join by coming to Spencer Road Library and picking up a copy of this book at the Children's Desk. (Copies will be available one month prior to the discussion, and only while supplies last.) Read the book on your own, and then come join us at the hosting branch at this specified day and time for a discussion and activities focusing on the book for this month with other tweens! At that time, you'll be able to return your copy of the book. (Have a fun time at Tweens Read? You'll be able to sign up for the next month and pick up a copy of that book at the end of the program if you like!)

This month's read: More than just a spooky tale, it’s also a moral fable about human greed and the power of storytelling. The story follows 14-year-old Molly and her younger brother, Kip, orphans fleeing the Irish famine who travel to work as servants at a creepy, crumbling English manor house. But the house and its family are not quite what they seem. Soon the children are confronted by a mysterious specter and an ancient curse that threatens their very lives. They will be forced to make decisions that could spell their doom.

Recommended for Grades 4-8.
