Teens Read: Gateway Readers Nominees

A book club just for teens! Read the book, then come to the Library to discuss with other teens and enjoy snacks and crafts. We're reading all of the Gateway Readers Award Nominees and we will vote for your favorite title in March. This month we're discussing: "Darkly" by Marisha Pessl Arcadia “Dia” Gannon has been obsessed with Louisiana Veda, the game designer whose obsessive creations and company, Darkly, have gained a cultlike following. Dia is shocked when she’s chosen for a highly-coveted internship, along with six other teenagers from around the world. Why her? Dia has never won anything in her life. Darkly, once a game-making empire renowned for its ingenious and utterly terrifying toys and games, now lies dormant after Veda’s mysterious death. The remaining games are priced like rare works of art, with some fetching millions of dollars at auction. As Dia and her fellow interns delve into the heart of Darkly, they discover hidden symbols, buried clues, and a web of intrigue. Who are these other teens, and what secrets do they keep? Why were any of them really chosen? The answers lie within the twisted labyrinth of Darkly—a chilling and addictive read by Marisha Pessl. This summer will be the most twisted Darkly game of all. - Description provided by publisher. Prefer reading it as an eBook or eAudiobook? Search for it HERE.
