Byrd's Books will host a book discussion of this year's Newbery Award Winner, "The Girl Who Drank the Moon" by Kelly Barnhill. This family-friendly book group, suitable for all ages, will meet on Thursday, Aug. 17 from 1 - 3 p.m. Attendees are asked to register for the event by clicking here.
About the book: Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. They hope this sacrifice will keep her from terrorizing their town. But the witch in the forest, Xan, is kind and gentle. She shares her home with a wise Swamp Monster named Glerk and a Perfectly Tiny Dragon, Fyrian. Xan rescues the abandoned children and deliver them to welcoming families on the other side of the forest, nourishing the babies with starlight on the journey.
Byrd's Books' regular book club for adults only will meet at 7:30 p.m. to discuss the same book.
Byrd's Books is located at 126 Greenwood Ave in Bethel. For more information, visit Byrd's Books online here.
