Booked & Brilliant, the official ULYP Book Club, is starting the year off with the classic Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler.
About this Event

We are excited to announce our next read for Booked & Brilliant YP Book Club is Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler.


Discover or rediscover the story of fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father, family, and neighbors, sheltered from the surrounding social chaos and anarchy caused by climate change and economic crisis. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk, she suffers from hyperempathy—a debilitating sensitivity to others' emotions.
Precocious and clear-eyed, Lauren must make her voice heard to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith and a startling vision of human destiny.
