Chester County Library issued the following announcement on December 1.

Curious to see what the current book club read is?

November's book for the Chester Main Teen Book Club is "96 Miles" by J. L. Esplin. The Chester Main Teen Book Club is for 6th to 8th graders interested in joining a group of their peers in reading and discussing a book monthly. This book club meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month.

Summary:

Dad always said if things get desperate, it’s okay to drink the water in the toilet. I never thought it would come to that. I thought I’d sooner die than let one drop of toilet water touch my lips. Yet here I am, kneeling before a porcelain throne, holding a tin mug for scooping in one hand, and my half-gallon canteen in the other.

The Lockwood brothers are supposed to be able to survive anything. Their dad, a hardcore survivalist, has stockpiled enough food and water on their isolated Nevada ranch to last for months. But when they are robbed at gunpoint during a massive blackout while their dad is out of town, John and Stew must walk 96 miles in the stark desert sun to get help--and they have only 3 days before their time runs out....

If you are interested in joining the Chester Main Teen Book Club, please call 803-377-8145 for more information.

Next Meeting: December 16, 2021
