Program Description

Event Details

Please join us for a discussion of The Beautiful Something Else by Ash Van Otterloo.

When Sparrow Malone’s mother spirals out of control, Sparrow is sent to live with Aunt Mags on a sprawling estate full of interesting, colorful new neighbors. And for the first time, trying to fit in doesn’t feel right anymore. Even Sparrow’s shadow has stopped following the rules.

As Shadow nudges Sparrow to try all the scary, exciting things Mom has always forbidden, Sparrow begins to realize something life-changing: They don’t feel like a girl. Or a boy. And while this discovery is exciting, now Sparrow must decide whether to tell everyone—their new family and friends, not-so-secret crush, and, most importantly, their mom—the truth, especially if it means things change forever.

Registration and book pick-up begins Monday, April 13th. A Zoom option will be available for individuals who would like to attend virtually.
