SUMMARY:July 2026 Banned Book Club - Chains
DESCRIPTION:Join us each month for thought-provoking discussions in the Banned Book Club\, where we will explore the powerful stories and ideas that have been silenced by book bans across America. Every month\, we’ll dive into either a book currently banned or one that examines the culture of censorship and its impact on society. Together\, we’ll challenge the limits of free expression\, reflect on the importance of diverse voices\, and discuss why certain books are under attack. Whether you’re reading for pleasure or actively seeking ideas outside your comfort zone\, each meeting offers a space for open dialogue\, critical thinking\, and a deeper understanding of the books that shape our world. Come ready to read\, reflect\, and resist! \nOur July book is Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. Stop in or order your copy from Cavalier House Books today! \nAbout the book: \nFrom acclaimed author Laurie Halse Anderson comes this compelling first novel in the historical middle grade The Seeds of America trilogy that shows the lengths we can go to cast off our chains\, both physical and spiritual. \nAs the Revolutionary War begins\, thirteen-year-old Isabel wages her own fight…for freedom. Promised freedom upon the death of their owner\, she and her sister\, Ruth\, in a cruel twist of fate become the property of a malicious New York City couple\, the Locktons\, who have no sympathy for the American Revolution and even less for Ruth and Isabel. \nWhen Isabel meets Curzon\, a slave with ties to the Patriots\, he encourages her to spy on her owners\, who know details of British plans for invasion. She is reluctant at first\, but when the unthinkable happens to Ruth\, Isabel realizes her loyalty belongs to whoever can provide her with freedom.
