Our Forever Young Book Club brings teens and adults together over a shared interest: Reading!

Young Adult books are a popular genre for every generation, and you don't need to be a teen to enjoy them! Join us once a month for intergenerational conversations, laughs, and snacks!

April is national poetry month and we're celebrating by reading a novel in verse!

This month's book pick is: Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds

Description:

William Holloman is ready to exact vengeance on the person who murdered his older brother, Shawn. As Will rides the elevator down from his eighth-floor apartment, a new person, who is dead, gets on each floor and tells a story about their lives, all connected to three rules of the neighborhood:

Don't cry.

Don't snitch.

Get revenge.

Most of the ghosts' stories revolve around that third rule, wherein one person died because they killed someone who killed someone connected to their family, creating a continuous cycle of death.

The full story takes place over the course of a minute.

Ages 13+
