For our October book discussion, Talk About Books has selected Steve Kluger's "Last Days of Summer". This is a hilarious and heart-warming story told exclusively through letters, postcards, notes, telegrams, newspaper clippings, etc. by Joey, a precocious twelve-year-old boy. Growing up poor and fatherless in a tough neighborhood in Brooklyn in the 1940's, Joey manages to strike up an unlikely friendship with his hero, Charlie Banks, a rising star with the New York Giants.

Who doesn't relate to the joys and sorrows of growing up? Join us on Wednesday, October 21st at 6:30 at the Guilford Free Library. Talk About Books is held every third Wednesday of the month. We'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions for future reads.

For more information, contact us through the library website, https://guilfordfreelibrary.wordpress.com or call 257-4603.

Copies of "Last Days of Summer" are available at the library.
