Summer Tween Book Group Reads The Final Six for July 11th
Page Turners, our book group for tweens in grades 6-8, reads The Final Six by Alexandra Monir for their get-together on Thursday, July 11th at 5:00PM. Copies of the book are available in the upper-level Teen area and the lower-level Young Readers’ Room.
About the Book
When Leo and Naomi are drafted, along with twenty-two of the world’s
brightest teenagers, into the International Space Training Camp, their
lives are forever changed. Overnight, they become global celebrities in
contention for one of the six slots to travel to Europa—Jupiter’s
moon—and establish a new colony, leaving their planet forever. With
Earth irreparably damaged, the future of the human race rests on their
shoulders.
For Leo, an Italian championship swimmer, this kind of
purpose is a reason to go on after losing his family. But Naomi, an
Iranian-American science genius, is suspicious of the ISTC and the fact
that a similar mission failed under mysterious circumstances, killing
the astronauts onboard. She fears something equally sinister awaiting
the Final Six beneath Europa’s surface.
In this cutthroat atmosphere, surrounded by strangers from around the world, Naomi finds an unexpected friend in Leo. As the training tests their limits, Naomi and Leo’s relationship deepens with each life-altering experience they encounter.
But it’s only when the finalists become fewer and their destinies grow nearer that the two can fathom the full weight of everything at stake: the world, the stars, and their lives.
