The Academic Angle

Book Club's Most Recent Book

By Maribella Alonso

The purpose of any club is to bring a community together to learn about and discuss something that matters to them, and the Kenmore Garfield Book Club is no different. If any student would like to join this amazing club, they can contact Mrs. Grajzl, who is our Book Club Advisor, by sending her an email at rpurda@apslearns.org, or easily click here and join our Google Classroom where you will receive the most updated content.


Our most recent book is called, The Darkest Minds, by Alexandra Bracken. This series consists of three novels and a collection of three novellas found in Through the Dark. My recommended reading order is: The Darkest Minds, In Time (novella), Never Fade, Sparks Rise (novella), In the Afterlight, and finally, Beyond the Night (novella). There is a free short story about Liam set between The Darkest Minds and Never Fade.


The Darkest Minds was made into a movie in 2018, with Amandla Stenberg starring as Ruby.
