Wandering Words is not your average book club! We dive into a thrilling young adult novels, then bring the story to life with a themed outing that connects to the story! This session we will be reading A Wilderness of Stars by Shea Ernshaw and then we will view the stars at Center for Lake Erie Education Research (CLEER) Science on a Sphere Room. We will meet at the Blasco Library Teen Space, discuss the book and have snacks before experiencing the wonder of the universe.

Book Info: Vega has lived in the valley her whole life—forbidden by her mother to leave the safety of its borders because of the unknown threats waiting for her in the wilds beyond. But when Vega sees an omen in the sky—one she cannot ignore—she is forced to leave the protective boundaries of the valley for the first time. People are gravely sick—they lose their eyesight and their hearing, just before they lose their lives. But Vega has a secret: she is the Last Astronomer—a title carried from generation to generation—and she is the only one who understands the knowledge of the stars. Knowledge that could hold the key to a cure.

Free for teens ages 13-18. Registration required, as space is limited. Teens may pick up their book at the Blasco Library after Sept. 22nd.
