The day before his mother's funeral, newly orphaned 17-year-old Jeremy Prine is given a letter in which she tells him, "When the time is right I want you to go find your Uncle Aiden.... You have something I couldn't give him, and he has something I couldn't give you." He hitchhikes to where Aiden, aka Snake, works a hard-rock tunnel south of Atlanta, and Jeremy manages to wangle a job. Cramer invites the reader into the life of the rock tunnel workers-hard-bitten, simple men with simple desires-as Jeremy wrestles with change, loss and becoming a man. Rather than relying on the tired plots and settings often used in Christian novels, Cramer offers an unusual underground world that both repels and attracts the reader. - Publisher's Weekly Books will be available at both Romeo District Library locations. Please call (586) 752-2583 for more information.

Kathe Koja, Kissing the Bee Four County Community Foundation presents an afternoon with starred reviewed novelist Kathe Koja at 1:30 pm on Saturday, June 21st, to kick off the Teen Summer Reading Program, Metamorphosis @ Your Library. Publishers Weekly writes that Koja captures "each line of dialogue, each interaction illuminating struggles that readers face as well," in Kissing the Bee. Koja explains that while teenagers are "in the midst of the metamorphosis of adolescence, where so many of the changes are beyond one's control, there are still some things that can be consciously shaped for the better . what a maelstrom those years can be, how frustrating and how scary, along with the upthrusts of energy and joy." A book signing will follow this incredible opportunity to get to know the author of six acclaimed young adult novels that explore a variety of changes teens face today through this interactive program. Books will be available for purchase through The Books Connection of Shelby in Shelby Township. Please call (586) 752-0603, option 4 for more information.
