January Reading Past Bedtime Book Club: The Grimlore Game
About this Event
Reading Past Bedtime is our new quarterly middle-grade “after hours” book club for young readers, ages 8-13, who would rather find a flashlight than put down their latest read! Across the year, we’ll be celebrating fantasy, mysteries, adventures, and more, including stories that make us laugh and think.
We’re intentionally choosing books that we think ANY readers will love! And the best part: kids will get to gather at Old Town Books Junior AFTER hours for an exclusive experience (PJs optional!).
Please join bookseller Kai on Friday, January 22, at 7pm to discuss (ages 8 -12).
About the book:
A brand-new cozy gothic series that’s The Inheritance Games for middle grade readers—filled with family curses, talking cats, and clever clues!
“Mix Mr. Lemoncello with Wednesday Addams, and you’ll end up with the dark fun of The Grimlore Game!”—Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Mr. Lemoncello's Library series
SOLVE THE PUZZLES. SURVIVE THE GAME.
Orphan Kit Devlin knows two things for sure about her scheming relatives:
1. They’re cursed, with someone doomed to croak every three years like clockwork.
2. They only care about one thing: themselves.
When wealthy Grandpa Amos dies, all the Devlins come running to his manor for their piece of the inheritance—only to find a mysterious magical game instead. Whoever solves the riddles will win his fortune. But everything is not what it seems, like the misfit cousin with secrets to hide and the crimson-eyed cat who only talks to Kit. As the clues stack up, Kit learns there’s more to the family curse—and her connection to it—than she ever suspected. If she wants answers, she has to survive the game... and win.
"Gothic, twisty, and so much fun."—Lindsay Currie, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Mystery of Locked Rooms
“[This] house full of mysteries and magical curses had me hooked from page one.” —Jen Calonita, New York Times bestselling author of Isle of Ever
