Book Talk
Join the Book Talk discussion group on Wednesday, May 21 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss Meg Shaffer’s The Wishing Game.Lucy Hart, a twenty-six-year-old teacher’s aide, enjoys sharing her love of books with her students, especially Christopher. Christopher, a seven-year-old orphan, shares Lucy’s love for the Clock Island books, a series which served as a refuge during Lucy’s lonely childhood.
One day, Lucy receives one of only four invitations to compete for the unpublished manuscript of the final installment of the Clock Island series. Winning the competition could also enable Lucy to adopt Christopher, a goal that has seemed hopelessly elusive.
Can Lucy compete against the wiles of the other contestants? And what twists does Jack Masterson, the author and master of ceremonies, have in store?
