On September 8, LWVSP Evening Book Club discussed Muzoon: A Syrian Refugee Speaks Out. As a group, we really enjoyed it. It was an eye-opening read and we learned a lot about Syria, the civil war, and Syrian refugees. As the book was published in 2023, We wondered what the author is up to now, but also why it was written for a young adult audience; the book is categorized as young adult nonfiction. Perhaps the goal was to increase awareness of events in Syria among young people.

We look forward to reading and discussing our next book, Rise to the Challenge by Marlene Johnson. We will discuss it on Zoom on November 10. We are excited to read this book the month before Ms. Johnson will be our keynote at our annual December Luncheon.
