-Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson

When: May 8, 2009, 6:30—8:00 pm
Where:Main Library

Join us in a discussion about Laurie Halse Anderson’s newest tale about a girl who is battling against anorexia. Lia’s best friend has already lost the fight, but will her fate be the same?

We will also be discussing questions for a possible video chat with the author. (This is still in the works and if it happens will be late spring/early summer)

The first 15 teens to sign-up with me (Andrea/YA Librarian) will receive a free copy of the book. You can reach me @ 815-740-2662 or jplteens@gmail.com. You can also msg me on here if you want as well.
