Bennets of Broad Street is a young adult book club that meets once a month at The Bookshelf. Even though we read mostly YA, the book club is open to readers of all ages!
Our book for January is Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas. You can read a short summary of the book below:
If there’s one thing seventeen-year-old Maverick Carter knows, it’s that a real man takes care of his family. Life’s not perfect, but with a fly girlfriend and a cousin who always has his back, Mav’s got everything under control. Until that is, Maverick finds out he’s a father. International phenomenon Angie Thomas revisits Garden Heights seventeen years before the events of The Hate U Give in this searing and poignant exploration of Black boyhood and manhood.
