About this event

Jump into adult titles that hit the perfect sweet spot for teen readers. Each month, we’ll read award-winning books that keep the fast-paced drama, high energy, and relatable characters you love from YA. If you're ready for the next step, this is the place to start! For Grades 6-12 About "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi: In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the coming-of-age story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah’s regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran’s last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country.
