Events › Family Bookworms Book Club: My Aunt is a Monster

Family Bookworms is an online book club for kids and adults! Come together once a month to discuss a book and explore its ideas via Zoom.

Join us on July 25 for a vibrant discussion of Reimena Yee's graphic novel My Aunt is a Monster, in which the reclusive Lord Whimsy plans to stop an old rival from uncovering the truth of a disappearance and blind Safia finds herself experiencing an adventure and parts of the world she had only dreamed about.

All book club titles are available in a multitude of ways. For more information on using our online books, please visit the BPL's Stream and Download page.

More about the book:

Safia thought that being blind meant she would only get to go on adventures through her audiobooks. This all changes when she goes to live with a distant and mysterious aunt, Lady Whimsy, who takes Safia on the journey of a lifetime!

While the reclusive Lady Whimsy stops an old rival from uncovering the truth behind her disappearance, Safia experiences parts of the world she had only dreamed about. But when an unlikely group of chaotic agents comes after Whimsy, Safia is forced to confront the adventure head-on. For the first time in her life, Safia is the hero of her own story, and she must do what she can to save the day.

And maybe find some friends along the way.
