A story that manages to blend fantasy and historical fiction, we talked about our favorite characters, moments, and to whom we would recommend this unique book.

Up next: “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak
“Don’t judge a book by it’s cover,” applies very literally to Scott Westerfield’s futuristic novel, “Uglies”. It has surprising depth, which led to a pretty interesting book club conversation about beauty, friendship, and even Darwinism.

We apologize for the delay between episodes, but we’re back with Marie Lu’s “The Young Elites”. This was a difficult read for us but Lu’s antihero epic is still one worth exploring. We delve into themes such as betrayal, mistrust, and acceptance, and how a person’s environment can impact their reaction to those themes.

In this episode we’ll conclude our discussion on Madeliene L’Engle’s classic “A Wrinkle in Time.” Previously, we learned that the Murry children – Meg and Charles Wallace – and their friend, Calvin, were swept up into a cosmic battle between good and evil and they are now traveling through the galaxy to find their father. We explore themes such as conformity, courage, and love, and answer the age old question, “If you could time travel, where, or rather when, would you go?”
Up Next: “Wonder” by R.J. Palacio
