Listen to the first chapter of a young adult or middle-grade audiobook after school.
Teens and tweens ages 10-18 are welcome to hang out after school and listen to the first chapter of a new audiobook each month. We'll alternate between young adult and middle grade titles. Titles will be picked approximately two weeks before the program.
In February, we'll listen to Ruta Sepetys' novel "The Bletchley Riddle."
Summer, 1940. Nineteen-year-old Jakob Novis and his quirky younger sister, Lizzie, share a love of riddles and puzzles. And now they’re living inside of one. The quarrelsome siblings find themselves amid one of the greatest secrets of World War II—Britain’s eccentric codebreaking factory at Bletchley Park. As Jakob joins Bletchley’s top minds to crack the Nazi’s Enigma cipher, fourteen-year-old Lizzie embarks on a mission to solve the mysterious disappearance of their mother.
