Would you venture into an abandoned mental hospital? At night? This is the premise of author Laurie Stolarz's book Project 17. Main character Derik LaPointe joins up with Liza, Mimi, Greta, Chet, and Tony to make an amateur movie for a contest. The group ventures to Danvers State Medical Hospital, in the middle of the night. With an appearance of the number 17 in a surprising number of places the kids find out a little more than they bargined for, about Danvers and themselves.

Project 17 was the last book selection of our Teen Book Group. Our group discussion involved a live, online chat with the fantastic (and cool and kind!) author, Laurie Faria Stolarz, who answered all our questions about the book and how she wrote it! Want to make sure you get to participate in the next book group and author chat? Ask for more info at the youth services desk about how you can join the next conversation.
Super-special-extra thanks to Adam for not just the review but also for being part of the book group!
