April 1 - Looking for Smoke by KA Cobell

"Since moving to the Blackfeet Reservation with her parents, Mara Racette has felt like an outsider, taunted by her tight-knit classmates for growing up far away. So when a local girl includes Mara in a traditional Blackfeet giveaway to honor her missing sister, Mara thinks she'll finally make some friends. Instead, a girl from the giveaway, Samantha White Tail, is found murdered. Because the members of the giveaway group were the last to see Samantha alive, each becomes a person of interest in the investigation: New girl Mara, who hated Samantha for being particularly cruel. Grief-stricken Loren Arnoux, who was Samantha's best friend until Loren's sister's disappearance drove a wedge between them. Class clown Brody Clark, whose unreciprocated crush on Samantha is an open secret. And tough guy Eli First Kill, who has his own complicated history with Samantha. Despite deep mistrust, the four must now take matters into their own hands and clear their names. Even though one of them may be the murderer. In her powerful debut novel, author K. A. Cobell (Blackfeet) weaves loss, betrayal, and complex characters into a mystery that will illuminate, surprise, and engage readers until the final word."-- Provided by publisher.

Let's read Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson together! The events of this novel are heavy but important; they remind all of us to advocate for ourselves, even when it feels like no one is listening. Speak was published in 1999, but is still widely read (and challenged) today. Let's dig into this contemporary classic and discuss why it's still relevant.

Teens only (ages 11-19.) Registration is not required to attend the book discussion; however, free copies of the book + extras will be given to teens who register for the book club.

Books will be available for pickup at the Davenport Public Library at Fairmount and Eastern beginning on Monday, February 23rd.

Registrants can email Ms. Claire (ctrimble@davenportlibrary.com) if they would like their book + extras sent to another library location for pickup.
