Read the book, come chat about your thoughts.
Book Ends is a book club open to teens and their adult family member or guardian (parent, aunt / uncle, grandparent, or adult sibling over 18)! The purpose of this book club is to bring different generations of readers together around the same book and to create space for family members to have conversations beyond the usual "So how was school today". We'll supply the physical books teams that sign up. *Please note in the comments if you do not need a copy of the book.*
*Book club members are required to sign up and participate as a PAIR of teen and guardian (no unpaired/unrelated adults or teens).*

For April: The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
A Cinderella story with deadly stakes and thrilling twists.
Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why--or even who Tobias Hawthorne is. To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch--and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes.
Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a con-woman, and he's determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather's last hurrah: a twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Caught in a world of wealth and privilege, with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.
