Walter Dean Myers (1937–2014)

Pete Hautman, Rash.; Walter Dean Myers, Lockdown.

This book club, better known as ARRG!, is for ages 13 and up. The cool thing about this book club is that instead of reading books that are already published, you get to read Advanced Reader Copies (known in the publishing business as ARCs) of books that have yet to be published. Then, you tell us what you think! We'll also read one published book each month. At this time, the book club is full. Call the store to find out about getting on the waiting list. Our next meeting will be Saturday, January 23rd at 5:30PM. Our published book this month is Rash by Pete Hautman. The ARC is Lockdown by Walter Dean Myers. Come by the store to pick up your ARC.
