Teen Online Book Club - Heartless by Marissa Meyer Online
Teen Online Book Club is currently reading:
Heartless by Marissa Meyer
Description from Amber the Librarian: This book is ridiculous because it totally has everything: comedy, romance, fantasy, intrigue, creepy little girls living in a well, and TOTAL REVENGE FIRE. It is a retelling of the Queen of Heart's backstory from Alice in Wonderland and it is so much fun!
Description from Publisher: Long before she was the terror of Wonderland, she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love.
Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland, and a favorite of the unmarried King of Hearts, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, all she wants is to open a shop with her best friend. But according to her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for the young woman who could be the next queen.
Then Cath meets Jest, the handsome and mysterious court joker. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the king and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into an intense, secret courtship. Cath is determined to define her own destiny and fall in love on her terms. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.
In her first stand-alone teen novel, the New York Times-bestselling author dazzles us with a prequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
All teens (ages 11-19) are invited to join the Library's Teen Online Book Club! We are currently meeting using Zoom, but teens can also participate on their own without attending the zoom sessions.
