Melissa and Eden will be hosting our monthly book club to discuss some of the excellent recently released books.
In May we will be discussing Song of the Saltings by Rachel King.
About the book:
Rachel King's latest YA Novel is an atmospheric folk horror fantasy set in a world both terrifying and mysterious.
On the isolated island of Brack, the people live by an ancient bargain: every year, a sacrifice must be made to the Glimm, the creature that haunts the salt marshes.
Eight years after the monster spared her, 16-year-old Lotta tends the Council's sacrificial horses and keeps her distance from the villagers who whisper about her fate.
But something is stirring. The island is dying. It hums beneath her feet, and a song threads through her dreams. Is the Glimm calling Lotta back?
A chance encounter with Moss, a village outcast, will change both their lives, and the fate of the island, forever.
To uncover Brack's deepest secrets, Lotta and Moss will need to trust each other and risk everything they hold dear.

We have limited tickets available so grab a ticket sooner rather then later and tell your friends and whānau.
Drinks and snacks provided. If you have any specific allergies, let us know and send an email.
If you have any further queries send us an email to [email protected] and address it to Melissa.
