Once a month the teens gather with me to discuss our latest read. This Saturday, we’ll be coming together to discuss A Brief History of Montmaray.
In this wonderful tale set on the fictional island kingdom of Montmaray, Princess Sophie, her sister and her cousin long for Paris or London, or any place other than their cold, damp castle. It’s the late 1930s and Montmaray is virtually uninhabited since nearly all of the men died during one battle in World War I. Sophie and her royal family are almost all that is left of the historic but tiny kingdom of Montmaray. Then, some German Nazis start showing interest in their tiny island, and Sophie’s dull existence isn’t quite as dull any longer.
The teens and I will be meeting at 2pm in the kid’s section on Saturday to discuss this book and our club’s future plans. If you are between the ages of 13-17 and would like to chat about the book as well, join us.
