This Book Club covers the 13-18 year old age group. We will be reading 'The Agathas' by Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson. The authors of Girl in Pieces and The Lucky Ones combine forces to deliver a thrilling slice of teen crime set in a sleepy seaside town as two friends obsessed with Agatha Christie investigate the murder of the most popular girl in their school.
This is a friendly, informal group so everyone is welcome, especially any newcomers. We look forward to seeing you!
All of our Book Clubs take place monthly, so feel free to come as much or as little as you want.
