When:  6/18/2025 at 2:00 PM
Join us each month for a lively conversation centered on titles selected by staff within a variety of genres In this group we will discuss The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead. Author of The Underground Railroad, Colson Whitehead brilliantly dramatizes another strand of American history through the story of two boys sentenced to a hellish reform school in 1960s Florida. Based on the history of a real reform school in Florida that operated for one hundred and eleven years and warped and destroyed the lives of thousands of children, The Nickel Boys is a devastating, driven narrative by a great American novelist whose work is essential to understanding the current reality of the United States.
