SUMMARY:September 2026 Banned Book Club - Forge
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 September book is Forge by Laurie Halse Anderson\, Book 2 in the Seeds of America trilogy. Stop in or order your copy from Cavalier House Books today! \nAbout the book: \nCurzon navigates the dangers of being a runaway slave in this keenly felt second novel in in the historical middle grade The Seeds of America trilogy from acclaimed author Laurie Halse Anderson. \nBlistering winds. Bitter cold. And the hope of a new future. \nThe Patriot Army was shaped and strengthened by the desperate circumstances of the Valley Forge winter. This is where Curzon the boy becomes Curzon the young man. In addition to the hardships of soldiering\, he lives with the fear of discovery\, for he is an escaped slave passing for free. \nAnd then there is Isabel\, who is also at Valley Forge—against her will. She and Curzon have to sort out the tangled threads of their friendship while figuring out what stands between the two of them and true freedom. \nRead more information on how Laurie Halse Anderson’s books have been challenged and banned.
