Teen Book Club: Echo Mountain by Lauren Wolk

Join us for snacks and a book discussion!  

Ellie is a girl who takes matters into her own hands (and the book’s treatment of dogs is delightful).

Ellie’s world has been turned upside down by the stock market crash of 1929. Not that long ago, her family lived in town, her father a tailor and her mother a teacher. Now they live on the side of a Maine mountain, in a cabin they built themselves, eking out an existence as they hunt, forage and barter for food.  Historical fiction at its finest, Echo Mountain is celebration of finding your own path and becoming your truest self.
