Program Description

Event Details

OBCeans deserve a book club that's a little bit quirky, just like they are! Join us on the first Monday of the month for a lively discussion of books that might not otherwise be on your radar. A limited number of copies of the month's selection will be available for checkout; just ask at the Circulation Desk. 

In honor of San Diego Pride and Comic-con month, we will be discussing volume one the graphic novel Heartstopper by Alice Oseman. From the author's website:

Charlie and Nick are at the same school, but they’ve never met … until one day when they’re made to sit together. They quickly become friends, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick, even though he doesn’t think he has a chance.

But love works in surprising ways, and Nick is more interested in Charlie than either of them realised.

By Alice Oseman, winner of the YA Book Prize, Heartstopper is about love, friendship, loyalty and mental illness. It encompasses all the small stories of Nick and Charlie’s lives that together make up something larger, which speaks to all of us.
