"Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving father, a former linguist who now shelves books in a university library. His mother, Margaret, a Chinese American poet, left without a trace when he was nine years old. He doesn't know what happened to her--only that her books have been banned--and he resents that she cared more about her work than about him.  Then one day Bird receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, and soon he is pulled into a quest to find her. His journey will take him back to the many folktales she poured into his head as a child, through the ranks of an underground network of heroic librarians, and finally to New York City, where he will learn the truth about what happened to his mother and what the future holds for them both."

The only requirement to attend discussion is to read the book. Copies will be available at the library one month prior to discussion. Also available on Libby.

Adult Book Discussions take place the first Monday of the month at 6:30 pm and the second Wednesday of the month at 9:30 am, unless otherwise noted.
