For this middle school book club we will be reading three books culminating with a special Zoom on Monday, June 18th with the authors of these books. This is your chance to read a book and learn about what inspired the author and how they write!

The three books are The Heartbreak Bakery (April), The Life and Crimes of Hoodie Rosen (May), and Ghost Roast (June).

If you have already read the books and want to join in for any of the book discussions or the Zoom, sign up for the programs individually. Though this is geared to middle school students, we welcome any high school students who want to participate.

SUMMARY:

Teenage baker Syd sends ripples of heartbreak through Austin’s queer community when a batch of post-being-dumped brownies turns out to be magical—and makes everyone who eats them break up.

Syd (no pronouns, please) has always dealt with big, hard-to-talk-about things by baking. Being dumped is no different, except now Syd is baking at the Proud Muffin, a queer bakery and community space in Austin. And everyone who eats Syd’s breakup brownies . . . breaks up. Even Vin and Alec, who own the Proud Muffin. And their breakup might take the bakery down with it. Being dumped is one thing; causing ripples of queer heartbreak through the community is another.
