This is the last meeting of COLOR YOUR WORDS! a Young Adult Book Club. We will be reading young adult novels and graphic novels, and then meeting to discuss the books, while coloring pages related to the books. For our last book, we will be reading DRAGONFRUIT by Makiia Lucier.
"In the old tales, it is written that the egg of a seadragon, dragonfruit, holds within it the power to undo a person's greatest sorrow. But as with all things that offer hope when hope is gone, the tale comes with a warning. Every wish demands a price. Hanalei of Tamarind is the cherished daughter of an old island family. But when her father steals a seadragon egg meant for an ailing princess, she is forced into a life of exile. Sam is the last remaining prince of Tamarind. But he can never inherit the throne, for Tamarind is a matriarchal society. With his mother ill and his grandmother nearing the end of her reign, Sam is left with two choices: to marry, or to find a cure for the sickness that has plagued his mother for ten long years. When a childhood companion returns from exile, she brings with her something he has not felt in a very long time - hope.".
2025 Summer Reading is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Durham Library Foundation.
