CANCELLED: 20|30ISH BOOK CLUB

Internment by Samira Ahmed

Set in a horrifying near-future United States, seventeen-year-old Layla Amin and her parents are forced into an internment camp for Muslim American citizens. 

“This one has been on my to-read list since it was announced. Dystopian YA has sort of petered out post-Hunger Games, but this take sounds intriguing. The weaving of our current political climate as well as issues important to teens should make a riveting read.” -- Izabel

Copies of the book will be available on the display on the "Read Gather Discuss" display in the lobby approximately one month before the discussion.

This title is also available in electronic and audio formats.
