What’s New @ AFPLS

Oprah has choosen her newest book club title and it’s David Wroblewski’s The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. Published this year, Edgar Sawtelle is the story of a mute boy living in Wisconsin who has created his own sign language and who has inherited his family’s skill with dogs. Edgar’s quiet life faces some new challenges the summer of his fourteenth year with the arrival of two strangers, one a rebellious stray dog and the other his equally rebellious uncle.

If you’d like to read a review of Wroblewski’s novel, you can find the New York Times review here. You can also check out the first chapter if you can’t wait to get started.

You can check the AFPLS catalog here to see if any copies are available or to put this book on hold. I can’t wait to read it myself!
