Books with a Buzz

Hi Bee Members! This month we'll be reading "Where Dragonwoofs Sleep and the Fading Creeps" by my great friend, Adam Massey. He is actually one of my colleagues that I had the pleasure to get to know in my Masters program. He's an accomplished writer and his books are critically acclaimed capturing the hearts and awards from various establishments. And I would love for you all to meet him in person.

You're welcome to attend even if you haven't quite finished the book, as long as you don't mind spoilers being discussed. Attendees should generally expect to order something to eat or drink.

Here's a description of the book:

A normal eighth-grader by day, thirteen-year-old Ben awakens one night in a fantastical dream world where snow burns, the sun disappears and reappears without warning, and magic is addictive.

But the mysterious realm of Meridia is disappearing, eaten by a phenomena called the Fading. Joined by Avery, Marcus, and three dog-like dragonwoofs, Ben journeys across monster-infested oceans and sun-scorched mountains to retrieve the sphinx’s head, the key to saving the world and every astonishing creature that inhabits it.

But not everyone wants them to succeed. Soon, they find themselves pursued by the Sovereign and his generals, whose armies will stop at nothing to perpetuate the Fading and its consumption of the land.
