Queerest Book Club Ever meets the second Monday of every month on Zoom [at King's Books]. This book club is geared towards queer and trans youth, aged 10-16, but is open to all. We read fiction (mostly Middle Reader to Teen), nonfiction on queer and trans issues, and coming-of-age narratives, all with a social justice focus. Hosted by My Purple Umbrella. Each month, the selected book is available for purchase at King's Books. To see what we're reading this month, go to the main Events page. For questions, contact Lisa.
