Teen Poetry Burial Craft and Book Discussion—an NEA Big Read event

Friday October 26, 2018, 4-5 pm

Teens will discuss the Young Adult book, Pretty Monsters by Kelly Link, then do a casket-shaped craft based on the short story from the book, The Wrong Grave. The Wrong Grave tells the story of a high school boy who’s girlfriend dies and, in his grief, he stashes love poems in her casket during interment so she will know of his love forever. When he has second thoughts and goes back to retrieve them, he’s in for a big surprise!

Pretty Monsters by Kelly Link

In these nine stories, blending humor, the supernatural, and teen angst, bizarre and wonderful things occur.

Get your free copy of Pretty Monsters at any Mendocino County Library Branch beginning October 2nd and join us for the Big Read!
