DESCRIPTION:The summer book club runs for 8 weeks and your participation i
 s crucial to making each meeting fun and engaging. This summer's read
  is Out of Nowhere by Maine author, Maria Padian. You’ll have a set numb
 er of pages to read each week, and snacks will be provided. If you partici
 pate in at least 6 of the meetings, you will be invited to attend a pizza 
 party on August 15th.\r\nBook synopsis:\r\nAt Maquoit High School, Tom Bou
 chard has it made: captain and star of the soccer team, boyfriend to one o
 f the prettiest, most popular girls, and third in his class, likely to hav
 e his pick of any college, if he ever bothers filling out his applications
 . But life in his idyllic small Maine town quickly gets turned upside down
  after the events of 9/11.\r\nEnniston has become a “secondary migration
 ” location for Somali refugees, who are seeking a better life after thei
 r country was destroyed by war—they can no longer go home. Tom hasn’t 
 thought much about his Somali classmates until four of them join the socce
 r team, including Saeed. He comes out of nowhere on the field to make impo
 ssible shots, and suddenly the team is winning, dominating even; but when 
 Saeed’s eligibility is questioned and Tom screws up in a big way, he’s
  left to grapple with a culture he doesn’t understand and take responsib
 ility for his actions. Saeed and his family came out of nowhere and vanish
  just as quickly. And Tom may find himself going nowhere, too, if he doesn
 ’t start trying to get somewhere.\r\n
