Brook Group is held at Dad's House, 145 Bean Road, Meriden NH. All KUA parents are invited to participate! Book Group is an informal, fun and thoughtful get-together and a good way to get to know other KUA parents.
For our October meeting, we will discuss Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore: A Novel by Robin Sloan. The summer reading choice for KUA students in Literature of the Quest: this Amazon Best Books of the Month, October 2012 selection is described as follows: "Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore is an old school mystery set firmly in tech-loving, modern day San Francisco. Clay Jannon (former web designer) lands a job at a bookstore with very few patrons and even fewer purchases. His curiosity leads him to the discovery of a larger conspiracy at play, one exciting enough to rope in his best friend (CEO at a startup) and love interest (works at Google). As Clay and company unravel the puzzles of Mr. Penumbra's book shop, the story turns into a sort of nerdy heist, with real-life gadgets, secret societies, and a lot of things to say about the past, present, and future of reading." --Kevin Nguyen
