Teen Book Club: "Chains" by Laurie Halse Anderson

If an entire nation can seek its freedom, why not a girl? In this fast-paced, fascinating novel, as the Revolutionary War begins, thirteen-year-old Isabel wages her own fight...for freedom. Promised freedom upon the death of their owner, she and her sister, Ruth, in a cruel twist of fate become the property of a malicious New York City couple, the Locktons, who have no sympathy for the American Revolution and even less for Ruth and Isabel. A coming-of-age story of a girl and a nation and an absolute page-turner. Snacks and drinks provided. For teens grade 6 and up. Register beginning January 4 and pick up your FREE copy.
