What we’re about
Welcome to the Metro Philadelphia Book Club. This meetup is open to anyone who wants to join in. Most of our meetups will take place at pubs around the city where we will discuss the months selection over drinks and/or dinner. Some of our previous books have been The Road, Boomsday, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Running With Scissors, The Gathering, Then We Came to an End, On The Road and many others. We were mentioned in Philadelphia Magazines "things to do" issue (July, 2009), as a top book club in the city by CBSPhilly in 2013 and the Philly Voice in 2016. Also, in 2016 it was reported that we were the seventh largest active book club in the world. But we do like our cozy pub discussions.
Hope to see you out soon!

Nominee for Readers' Favorite Middle Grade & Children's (2019)
A graphic novel about starting over at a new school where diversity is low and the struggle to fit in is real.Seventh grader Jordan Banks loves nothing more than drawing cartoons about his life. But instead of sending him to the art school of his dreams, his parents enroll him in a prestigious private school known for its academics, where Jordan is one of the few kids of color in his entire grade.
As he makes the daily trip from his Washington Heights apartment to the upscale Riverdale Academy Day School, Jordan soon finds himself torn between two worlds—and not really fitting into either one. Can Jordan learn to navigate his new school culture while keeping his neighborhood friends and staying true to himself?
