(GWD) Teen Book Club

Ages: 13-17

Love to read? Join us for a book club for Teens only. The Library provides each teen a copy of the book to read and we will discuss the book together! This is also a time to socialize, give book suggestions, and eat snacks!

Once you have registered, you can come by the Teen Center to pick up your copy of the book. Registration will open below on Monday, October 27 @ 10AM.

About the Book:

Genre: Thriller – YA Fiction

The freeway is coming.

It will cut the neighborhood in two. Construction has already started, pushing toward this corridor of condemned houses and cracked concrete with the momentum of the inevitable. Yet there you are, in the fifth house on the left, fighting for your life.

Ramey, I.

The victim of the bet between two manufactured gods: the seductive and lethal Roxy (Oxycontin), who is at the top of her game, and the smart, high-achieving Addison (Adderall), who is tired of being the helpful one, and longs for a more dangerous, less wholesome image. The wager—a contest to see who can bring their mark to “the Party” first—is a race to the bottom of a rave that has raged since the beginning of time. And you are only human, dazzled by the lights and music. Drawn by what the drugs offer—tempted to take that step past helpful to harmful…and the troubled places that lie beyond.

But there are two I. Rameys—Isaac, a soccer player thrown into Roxy’s orbit by a bad fall and a bad doctor and Ivy, his older sister, whose increasing frustration with her untreated ADHD leads her to renew her acquaintance with Addy.

Which one are you?

Book Club Expectations:

After attending book club, you can keep your copy of the book!

If you pick up the book, but don’t show up for book club, you will be unable to get a free copy for the next book club.

If you don’t finish reading the book in time, you are still welcome to come and discuss what you did read if you don’t mind spoilers!

If you hated the book, come to book club and tell us why it was the worst book ever! That also means you can come even if you don’t finish reading it because you thought it was so bad. Be prepared to explain why!

If you realize you can’t come to the book discussion, please return the book ASAP to the Library so another person can take the slot. You can still get a free copy next time!
