September 2nd Selection - A Historical Fiction Novel of your choosing!
This month you can choose a historical novel of your choice. If you don't know where to start, try the Dear America series which covers a wide range of history from a variety of authors.
October 7th Selection - Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, is often referred to as one the most important literary works of all time. Adapted and reprinted thousands of times, and often cited as the birth of the gothic novel and the science fiction genre, Frankenstein has captivated readers for centuries. Mary Shelley's tragic story of a scientist who created a monster is perhaps even more compelling and meaningful today than when it was written nearly two centuries ago. From the bits and pieces of human bodies, and the power of electricity, the brilliant Dr. Victor Frankenstein fashions a new form of life-only to discover, too late, the irreparable damage he has caused.
*Each participant will receive a copy of this graphic novel version to keep! In addition to the novel, this edition includes a biography of Mary Shelley, scientific discoveries at the time the original novel was written, a listing of Frankenstein movies, and footnotes to explain difficult words and ideas.
November 4th Selection - The Unlikely Story of a Pig in the City
Josie Shilling's family is too big, their cramped city house is too small, and she feels like no one's ever on her side. Then, on Thanksgiving Day, her older brother, Tom, brings home a pink, squirmy bundle wrapped in an old football jersey-a piglet he rescued from a nearby farm. Her name is Hamlet. The minute Josie holds Hamlet, she feels an instant connection. But there's no room for Hamlet in the crowded Shilling household. And whoever heard of keeping a pig in the city? So it's up to Josie to find her a forever home.
