Author of ENCOUNTER, Kathy Beckwith, says: One of my favorite ways of reading a book is doing it together in our own Family Book Club, We’re going on 19 years this holiday season. I think this young adult novel would be a particularly good choice for a family read-lots of adventure, challenging “encounters to think about and discuss, and so much to share! (Discussion questions are included in the book). She extends a special invitation to Family Book Clubs to join her via Skype or Zoom. See details at her website: https://kathybeckwith.com/
