Our Mentor Text Book Clubs are where we all read a book together, and then have a discussion about it as writers from a craft perspective.
For July we will read the young adult anthology THE COLLECTORS: STORIES edited by A.S. King.
M. T. Anderson, e. E. Charlton-Trujillo, A.S. King, David Levithan, Cory McCarthy, Anna-Marie McLemore, G. Neri, Jason Reynolds, Randy Ribay, and Jenny Torres Sanchez have each written fiction based on a prompt from Printz-winner A.S. King.

The expectation is that you will have read the book before the meeting (or at least not be upset that you'll be spoiled 😉 ).
Even if you didn't love the book overall, come anyway, because discussing the craft elements can help you articulate what didn't work for you as a reader. Analyzing those aspects can strengthen your own writing by helping you recognize what to avoid or improve upon.
