Teen Book Club at Cumberland Public Library

This month we will be discussing The Life and Times of Benny Alvarez by local author Peter Johnson.

Everyone thinks Benny Alvarez is Mr. Negativity. According to Benny, he’s just realistic about seeing the “other side” of things—when it comes to just about everything. But maybe there’s another way to deal with the things Benny can’t control—like his ailing grandfather, his wild younger brother, and the know-it-all girls at school. In this poignant novel about acceptance, Benny Alvarez will have to decide . . . is the glass half empty or half full?

Peter Johnson will also join us for a book signing after the club!

Teens in middle and high school welcome. Register online or call or visit the Reference Desk. Pick up a copy of the book at Miss Jenn’s desk.
