Welcome to the Long Reach High School Book Club, a partnership with the Howard County Library System. Every month we get together to discuss interesting, aggravating, inspiring, funny, sad, fabulous, strange fiction. Join us and add your voice! Students vote on a selection of available titles. Suggestions are always welcome!
Our next meeting is Thursday, February during lunches in the media center film studio.
Sword and Verse by Kathy MacMillan
“MacMillan’s love of learning, knowledge, and literacy shapes both plot and character development, while raising ethical questions with no easy answers. Beneath what appears to be a romantic fantasy, discerning readers will find complex, broader issues among the predictable comforts of the genre.”." --Booklist High Fantasy
"This clever twist on an old tale will hook readers with its humor and lure them in with its heart. A charming story filled with rich world building, authentic characters, and an irresistible and surprising romance." --Lori Goldstein, author, Becoming Jinn Romantic Contemporary Fantasy
"A dense read with a lot of moving parts, Dennard’s rich descriptions, insightful characterizations, and breathtaking action sequences will keep readers on their toes." --Starred Publishers Weekly High Fantasy
