Torn apart by loyalty and destiny\, their fates entwine in a story the gods themselves are writing. Even if they find their way back to one another\, will there be anything left to save? \n\n\n\nJoin us for a rich discussion of Young’s epic exploration of sacrifice\, power\, and love in a city on the brink of collapse.

But when the police summon her to the famed Hotel Lutetia in Paris\, Olivia is thrust into a mystery unlike any she’s faced before. \n\n\n\nHer grandmother\, Josephine Benoit\, has appeared at the hotel in a distressed state\, claiming she committed a murder there at the end of World War II.

But as her investigation deepens\, the shadows of wartime Paris begin to stir once more. People connected to the hotel—and to Josephine’s story—start dying in the present day\, forcing Olivia into a dangerous race against time. \n\n\n\nSet against the glamorous\, haunted streets of Paris\, this novel asks chilling questions: Can memory be trusted? What secrets lie hidden in the past? And how far will someone go to silence the truth? Prepare for an addictive\, atmospheric thriller that will ignite discussion long after the final page.

SUMMARY:December Adventures in Reading Kids Club - The Library of Unruly Treasures by Jeanne Birdsall
DESCRIPTION:Our Adventures in Reading Kids Club is free and open to all AND the book is 10% off book club pricing. Come on out and join your fellow readers each month for a free pizza party and chat about the selected book. \n\n\n\nThis month we’re also hosting our kids’ holiday party! As for the book\, we’ll be chatting about The Library of Unruly Treasures by Jeanne Birdsall \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom Jeanne Birdsall\, the NYT bestselling and National Book Award–winning author of The Penderwicks\, comes a warm\, funny\, and magical new adventure that proves even the most unlikely heroes can make a difference. \n\n\n\nGwen MacKinnon knows her parents are dreadful—so dreadful that being sent away to stay with an uncle she’s never met feels more like a vacation than a punishment. Her new guardian\, Uncle Matthew\, comes with quirks of his own\, including an outspoken dog named Pumpkin who quickly becomes Gwen’s closest ally. \n\n\n\nBut when Gwen wanders into the local library\, she makes a discovery that changes everything. Hidden among the stacks are tiny winged creatures called Lahdukan—seen only by Gwen and the youngest children gathered at storytime. These mischievous\, magical beings are in trouble\, and they believe Gwen is the one destined to help them. \n\n\n\nThe problem? Gwen doesn’t feel like a hero. She’s ordinary\, unwanted\, and far from courageous. But the Lahdukan don’t give up easily\, and with Pumpkin nudging her forward\, Gwen is drawn into a quest to save them—and\, perhaps\, discover her own strength along the way. \n\n\n\nBursting with humor\, heart\, and just the right touch of whimsy\, The Library of Unruly Treasures is a tender story about friendship\, bravery\, and the unexpected ways we find our place in the world. A perfect pick for readers who love libraries\, magical creatures\, and adventures with plenty of laughter along the way.
