Our Book Club meeting scheduled for Monday, March 16, 2020 has been postponed to Monday, April 20, 2020 at 8:00 pm ET We will be discussing: To join the discussion, dial (toll free) 866-662-7513 Then, use the pass code: 1170791# Please share this invitation to all interested colleagues and networks  This young adult fiction book takes place in Sleepy Valley, a town probably similar in many ways to the one where you live or grew up. Things are fine on the surface but no one is thinking about the future. Are you ready for what is about to happen to you and to towns all across the country and around the world? Marley and Brianne, the main characters in our story, were not. Nor were their parents, their neighbors, or anyone in town. When they woke up on the day after their high school graduation they found their lives turned upside down as a series of climate catastrophes descended on their town. They struggle to find their voices and their purpose for living while attempting to save their family and friends, their town, and civilization as we know it. The Big Melt engages, informs, and challenges readers of all ages to consider a variety of perspectives on what is rapidly becoming the challenge of the century: Now that our climate is changing, what do we do? This work of contemporary fiction, with a touch of fantasy and hope, will inspire you to care a little more about what might occur in your town in the not-too-distant future. | If you'd like to see the books and discussion questions from previous NOAA Planet Stewards Book Club meetings, check out out our Book Club Archives Page!
