The Grim Readers

Twelve-year-old Morgan isn't asking for much. She just wants to go home. Massachusetts is awful. Private school is the worst. As if being the awkward new girl in a private school filled with aloof and judgmental kids isn't bad enough, Mom thinks she's helping Morgan by making her sign up for a book club. A BOOK CLUB. Where people are supposed to read for fun. Morgan isn't sure she's going to survive seventh grade. But rather than blindly accept the disaster her life has become, Morgan tries to branch out and befriend the other reluctant members of the book club. She's met with a catastrophic birthday party, a mortifying science experiment, and a terrifying encounter with a...a witch? (Not to mention the inadvertent murder of Trinity Sky.) However, Morgan is persistent-she isn't about to let seventh grade tear her apart. She vows to prove that braces and mean girls and fluffy slime are no match for an emoji-loving Floridian.
