SUMMARY:Stratford: Evening Book Club: "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" by Kate DiCamillo
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for our March book club to discuss “The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane” by Kate DiCamillo. \nOnce\, in a house on Egypt Street\, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane.

America’s beloved storyteller takes us on an extraordinary journey\, from the depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman\, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. Along the way\, we are shown a miracle—that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love\, to lose\, and to love again. \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome! Stop by the library to pick up a copy of the book. For more information\, please contact us at 715-687-4420.

SUMMARY:Rothschild: Book Club: “Remarkably Bright Creatures” by Shelby Van Pelt
DESCRIPTION:Please join library staff and fellow book lovers for our March book club to discuss “Remarkably Bright Creatures” by Shelby Van Pelt. \nAfter Tova Sullivan’s husband died\, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium\, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope\, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son\, Erik\, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus\, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova. Ever the detective\, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova’s son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it’s too late. \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome! Stop by the library to check out a copy of the book. For more information\, please contact us at 715-359-6208.

SUMMARY:Wausau: Book Club: "The House of My Mother" by Shari Franke
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our March book club to discuss “The House of My Mother: A Daughter’s Quest for Freedom” by Shari Franke. Shari Franke’s childhood was a constant battle for survival. Her mother\, Ruby Franke\, enforced a severe moral code while maintaining a façade of a picture-perfect family for their wildly popular YouTube channel\, 8 Passengers\, which documented the day-to-day life of raising six children for a staggering 2.5 million subscribers. But a darker truth lurked beneath the surface—Ruby’s wholesome online persona masked a more tyrannical parenting style than anyone could have imagined. As the family’s YouTube notoriety grew\, so too did Ruby’s delusions of righteousness. Fueled by the sadistic influence of relationship coach Jodi Hildebrandt\, together they implemented an inhumane and merciless disciplinary regime. Ruby and Jodi were arrested in Utah in 2023 on multiple charges of aggravated child abuse. On that fateful day\, Shari shared a photo online of a police car outside their home. Her caption had one word: “Finally.” \nFor the first time\, Shari will reveal the disturbing truth behind 8 Passengers and her family’s devastating involvement with Jodi Hildebrandt’s cultish life coaching program\, “ConneXions.” No stone is left unturned as Shari exposes the perils of influencer culture and shares for the first time her battle for truth and survival in the face of her mother’s cruelty. \nNo registration is required\, and all are welcome. Stop by the main desk at MCPL-Wausau to grab a book that’s ready to check out! For more information\, please contact us at 715-261-7230.
