Greenlight Young Readers Book Group discusses Open Boat and Other Stories by Stephen Crane

Led by Greenlight bookseller and former teacher Brette, this book group is geared toward kids ages 8 to 14, and will read great contemporary and classic chapter books. Parents are welcome (but not required) to attend and pizza is served for everyone. For March, the book group discusses Stephen Crane’s Open Boat and Other Stories.

Four prized selections by one of America's greatest writers comprise this collection: "The Open Boat," based on a harrowing incident in the author's life: the 1897 sinking of a ship on which he was a passenger; "The Blue Hotel," "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky," and the novella "Maggie: A Girl of the Streets."
