"Chicks with Sticks"
Teen Book Club
Thursday, Dec. 3rd @ 3:00pm
Reading: The Disreputable History of
Frankie Landau-Banks
By: E. Lockhart
Frankie Landau-Banks at age 14: Debate Club. Her father's "bunny rabbit." A mildly geeky girl attending a highly competitive boarding school.
Frankie Landau-Banks at age 15: A knockout figure. A sharp tongue. A chip on her shoulder. And a gorgeous new senior boyfriend: the supremely goofy, word-obsessed Matthew Livingston.
Frankie Landau-Banks. No longer the kind of girl to take "no" for an answer. Especially when "no" means she's excluded from her boyfriend's all-male secret society. Not when her ex-boyfriend shows up in the strangest of places. Not when she knows she's smarter than any of them. When she knows Matthew's lying to her. And when there are so many, many pranks to be done.
Frankie Landau-Banks, at age 16: Possibly a criminal mastermind. This is the story of how she got that way.
Bring your current knitting project and join us for snacks and discussion. Beginning knitters and new members welcome! Copies are available on the teen display. |

Let us not forget those who are protecting our country and unable to be home for the holidays, especially Milford's own Mountain Infantry Company. Remember these brave men and women and as a community let us be there for their families!
From all of us at the Wadleigh Library, Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
Your Friends at the
