Program Description
Event Details
Are you a mega fan of YA books? Have you always wanted to try young adult literature but needed help figuring out where to start? Well, this is the book club for you! Join us monthly as we read some of the most beloved Young Adult books, shamelessly swoon over our favorite characters, and share in bookworm camaraderie. This is a book club for all ages.
Stop by the Berea location circulation desk to grab a copy of each month's book pick.
October's book pick is Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly.
Book Description:
Isabelle should be blissfully happy-she's about to win the handsome prince. Except Isabelle isn't the beautiful girl who lost the glass slipper and captured the prince's heart. She's the ugly stepsister who cut off her toes to fit into Cinderella's shoe . . . which is now filling with blood.
Isabelle tried to fit in. She cut away pieces of herself in order to become pretty. Sweet. More like Cinderella. But that only made her mean, jealous, and hollow. Now she has a chance to alter her destiny and prove what ugly stepsisters have always known: it takes more than heartache to break a girl. Evoking the darker, original version of the Cinderella story, Stepsister shows us that ugly is in the eye of the beholder and uses Jennifer Donnelly's trademark wit and wisdom to send an overlooked character on a journey toward empowerment, redemption . . . and a new definition of beauty.
