Between the Covers Book Club Reads: Noggin!

It’s hard to believe February is already here! Now that you’ve gotten adjusted to the spring semester it’s time to reintroduce some extracurricular fun into your academic lives 😉 What better way to do that than by participating in SCC’s Between the Covers book club?!

The first book up for discussion is Noggin by John Corey Whaley. Book club will be meeting to talk about it on Wednesday, March 1 at 2:30 in the Information Commons of the library. We’ll have coffee and treats PLUS the chance to win our second title, Calvin by Martine Leavitt.

Here’s a brief book summary so you know what kind of fun you’re in for:

Listen—Travis Coates was alive once and then he wasn’t.
Now he’s alive again.
Simple as that.

The in between part is still a little fuzzy, but Travis can tell you that, at some point or another, his head got chopped off and shoved into a freezer in Denver, Colorado. Five years later, it was reattached to some other guy’s body, and well, here he is. Despite all logic, he’s still sixteen, but everything and everyone around him has changed. That includes his bedroom, his parents, his best friend, and his girlfriend. Or maybe she’s not his girlfriend anymore? That’s a bit fuzzy too.

Looks like if the new Travis and the old Travis are ever going to find a way to exist together, there are going to be a few more scars.

Oh well, you only live twice.

Hopefully we’ll see you there!

AND if you want to read the book but the library copy is checked out, ask a Reference Librarian for help requesting it from another library. We got you. 🙂
