If there’s one story your book club will thank you for introducing, it’s The Story of Shapes by Robb Killen. From the very first page, it wraps you in imagination, warmth, and wisdom. It’s a story that invites readers of all ages to step into a world that feels different, yet achingly familiar. In Shapely, the Squares rule their boxy city with pride, the Circles roll freely across open hills, and the Triangles carve their lives among the mountains, each group convinced that their way is best. But when the greatest snowstorm in Shapely’s history arrives, their survival depends on something no one expected, cooperation.
Through humor, heart, and beautifully crafted storytelling, Killen paints a powerful reminder that life isn’t about fitting in perfectly — it’s about fitting together beautifully. It’s about opening our eyes to the people, ideas, and shapes we once ignored, and realizing that true community doesn’t erase differences, it celebrates them.
This book is a conversation starter, a perspective shifter, and a soul-stirring delight for book lovers who crave substance wrapped in story. It will make your group laugh, pause, and reflect, and it just might spark one of your most meaningful discussions of the year.
