Members of Spinebreakers, we will meet TODAY to complete an end survey on Firekeeper’s Daughter and will begin our next novel, Feed by M.T. Anderson. Anderson’s novel Feed is set in a future dystopian America, where internet connections feed directly into the consumer’s brain. The plot centers on the unfolding love story between Titus Gray, an average kid on a weekend trip to the moon, and Violet Durn, a brainy girl who has decided to fight the feed. If you would like a free copy of the book, come to the gathering, complete a survey, and then read all about the feed! If you have any questions, see Mr. Thompson, Mr. vonRigler, or Mrs. Terlizzi.
