May's Teen/Tween Book Club will be meeting, as always, on the last Wednesday of the month. For May, we will meet on Wednesday, May 28 at 4 p.m. at the Headquarters Library, and for this month we voted to read I Am Made of Death by Jessica Parra.
You can find these books in our catalog in various formats - please feel welcome to choose your copy in ebook or physical version. Join us in person at the Headquarters Library Teen Space, again on Wednesday, May 28 at 4 p.m. to discuss! Also, create an account and join us on our Goodreads group for updates on the next selection and any discussions you'd like to initiate. Our book club works best for tweens and teens aged 11 to 17.

I Am Made of Death
by
Following the death of his father, Thomas Walsh had to grow up quickly, taking on odd-jobs to keep food on the table and help pay his gravely ill mother's medical bills. When he's offered a highly paid position as an interpreter for an heiress who exclusively signs, Thomas -- the hearing child of a Deaf adult -- jumps at the opportunity. But the job is not without its challenges. Thomas is expected toaccompany Vivienne wherever she goes, but from the start, she seems determined to shake him. To make matters worse, her parents keep her on an extremely short leash. She is not to go anywhere without express permission. She is not to deviate from her routine. She is, most importantly, not to be out after dark.
