📚 Join us for the SMCC Book Club December discussion of Dandelion Wine!

Join us as we dive into Ray Bradbury’s enchanting semi-autobiographical novel Dandelion Wine, set in the summer of 1928. Through the eyes of twelve-year-old Douglas Spaulding in fictional Green Town, Illinois, we’ll explore the magic of childhood summers – from the simple joy of new tennis shoes to the mysterious dandelion wine his grandfather brews. Together, we’ll discuss how Douglas faces profound moments of change, meets extraordinary characters who seem to bend time itself, and discovers the bittersweet nature of growing up. This beloved classic, which we’ll explore in our book club meeting, captures the timeless essence of childhood summers, blending nostalgia, wonder, and the subtle wisdom that comes with life’s first revelations.

Come share your thoughts about this magical coming-of-age story. Light refreshments will be served. New members are always welcome!
