Come join our branch’s teen book club for an amazing buddy read! The Otherwhere Post by Emily J. Taylor is one of the latest fantasy and mystery fiction published this year.

Maeve Abenthy lives under a different identity ever since her father was accused of committing a crime. Then she gets a letter, one that claims her father’s innocence. Seeking the truth, she enters the Otherwhere Post where apprentices are tasked with learning magic to send letters to other worlds. Will she be able to uncover the truth about what happened seven years ago or will the person who is sending her threatening letters make good on their or else promise?

Join our discussion via in-person or virtually. We will also brainstorm and vote for the next book! A mini craft will be provided as well.

Please RSVP below on the website to receive more information and the link to meet virtually. For grades 6 to 12.
