Series? Yes: Keeper of the Lost Cities (#1)



Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret—at least, that’s what she thinks…

But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well…she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth, and she is forced to leave behind her family for a new life in a place that is vastly different from what she has ever known.

But Sophie still has secrets, and they’re buried deep in her memory for good reason: The answers are dangerous and in high-demand. What is her true identity, and why was she hidden among humans? The truth could mean life or death—and time is running out.



Hello everyone!

In September, we are going to be reading Keeper of the Lost Cities (#1) by Shannon Messenger as our monthly BOTM pick. We are so happy to have you join us! Welcome!

NOTES:

Every month, the leaders will be Noly, Holly, and Ellie and together with all the people taking part in the discussion, we will decide if we want to have a structured way of reading the BOTM (a few chapters a day, a week, etc), or if we want to read at our own pace and check back in later. Feel free to do what works for you, but if you finish the book and want to gush about it but others are still reading, use the Spoiler Hider. You can find how to use that in the little (some HTML is ok) link in the right-hand top corner of the comment box.

We hope you all have a wonderful reading month and discuss it with us!
