Why should teens have all the fun? In this discussion group, we will read and talk about some pretty amazing YA fiction, through the filter of our grown up eyes. We’ll compare today’s YA literature to that of when we were teens, and have frank conversations about what it’s like for young people in today’s world, and what it’s like after we’ve all grown up. This month we'll be reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Books will be available at the Readers Advisory desk on 2nd floor of the Main Library. Please register.
