Join us for our Middle Grade Book Club, Tween the Pages! Our first book for fall is Wings of Fire: The Lost Heir!​

Registration required. Books may be picked up at the Fairmount Branch. This club is for patrons ages 8 to 11.​

From the Publisher:

The Wings of Fire saga continues with a thrilling underwater adventure and a mystery that will change everything!
The lost heir to the SeaWing throne is going home at last.
She can't believe it's finally happening. Tsunami and her fellow dragonets of destiny are journeying under the water to the great SeaWing Kingdom. Stolen as an egg from the royal hatchery, Tsunami is eager to meet her future subjects and reunite with her mother, Queen Coral.
But Tsunami's triumphant return doesn't go quite the way she imagined. Queen Coral welcomes her with open wings, but a mysterious assassin has been killing off the queen's heirs for years, and Tsunami may be the next target. The dragonets came to the SeaWings for protection, but this ocean hides secrets, betrayal, and perhaps even death.

September's book is Ursula, Under by Ingrid Hill. In Ursula, Under, the entire nation is glued to the television as people follow the dangerous efforts to rescue Ursula Maki, a two-year-old, part-Chinese, part-Finnish child who has fallen down an abandoned mineshaft in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, in a novel that chronicles a chain of ancestors, across two thousand years, whose lives culminate in one little girl.
