SUMMARY:June Adventures in Reading Kids Club: Underwild River of Spirits
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 chatting about Underwild River of Spirits by Shana Targozs \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis dazzling middle grade debut has already earned its spot as a New York Times bestseller—and it’s easy to see why. The Underwild: River of Spirits sweeps readers into a richly imagined underworld where rules are everything\, secrets run deep\, and courage means stepping into the unknown\, even when the cost is high. \n\n\n\nSenka lives between two worlds: not quite alive\, not quite dead\, learning the ancient ways of guiding souls across the river to the afterlife under the watchful eye of Charon\, the legendary Ferryer. But everything changes when Poppy\, a living girl filled with grief and determination\, invades the Underworld in search of her brother’s ghost.When a desperate rescue pulls both girls downriver and into the haunting wilderness of the Underwild\, they’re forced to confront vengeful spirits\, terrifying creatures\, and truths that could reshape everything Senka thought she knew. \n\n\n\nPerfect for fans of Greenwild and Rick Riordan’s myth-inspired tales\, this is a story brimming with friendship\, heart\, danger\, and self-discovery. It’s also ideal for sparking discussion in book clubs—about grief\, choice\, identity\, and what it means to do the right thing\, even when the rules say otherwise.  \n\n\n\nAnd for collectors and early readers\, the first edition is a true treasure\, featuring sprayed edges and a limited special design while supplies last.
