Megan Turner

On Wednesday afternoon on October 26, the Scarborough Library Teen Book Group had a Skype visit with author, Megan Whalen Turner. It was so awesome. Megan was funny, insightful, and very, very interesting. We all had lots of questions that she graciously answered.

Our next book for discussion is Silent to the Bone by E.L. Konigsburg.
"When he is wrongly accused of gravely injuring his baby half-sister, thirteen-year-old Branwell loses his power of speech and only his friend Connor is able to reach him and uncover the truth about what really happened."


If you are in Grades 6 thru 8 and you are interested in joining the book group, please contact Mrs. C in the

Want to join a book club?

The library has a teen book club. If you enjoy reading and talking about the books you've read then this is for you. We meet for one hour. Our next meeting is Wednesday, October 26 at 4 pm. We will be talking about the book, The Thief by Megan Turner.


BOOK SUMMARY: "The most powerful advisor to the King of Sounis is the magus. He's not a wizard, he's a scholar, an aging solider, not a thief. When he needs something stolen, he pulls a young thief from the King's prison to do the job for him.

Gen is a thief and proud of it. When his bragging lands him behind bars he has one chance to win his freedom-- journey to a neighboring kingdom with the magus, find a legendary stone called Hamiathes's Gift and steal it.

The magus has plans for his King and his country. Gen has plans of his own.

The Thief is the first book in the Queen's Thief series. Faced paced, the surprise ending will leave you breathless and reaching for the book two, The Queen of Attolia.

Watch the trailer for The Thief.

If you haven't read The Thief, that's okay. Come and talk about a book you've recently read and enjoyed.
