Summer Book Club
Monday, July 29 10:00 AM - Noon Join us at the Vrugginks’ home to discuss the book The Many Meanings of Meilan by Andrea Wang. Each family is encouraged to bring a themed treat to share and dress up like a character in the book. This book tells the story of a girl adjusting to life in Ohio after spending the beginning of her life in Boston’s Chinatown. She decides she is many Meilans, each inspired by a different Chinese character with the same pronunciation as her name. Sometimes she is Mist, cooling and invisible; other times, she's Basket, carrying her parents' hopes and dreams and her guilt of not living up to them; and occasionally she is bright Blue, the way she feels around her new friend Logan. Meilan keeps her facets separate until an injustice at school shows her the power of bringing her many selves together. |
