Specific Event Details

This time we will be reading the gripping and emotional novel On a Scale of One to Ten by Ceylan Scott.

Parents and teens should be aware that this novel features topics like suicide and self-harm. If these topics are not for you, that's okay! We hope to see you at our September meeting instead. 

Book cover for On a Scale of One to Ten

 

Tamar is admitted to Lime Grove, a psychiatric hospital for teenagers. Lime Grove is home to a number of teenagers with a variety of problems: anorexia, bipolar disorder, behavior issues. Tamar will come to know them all very well. But there's one question she can't... won't answer: What happened to her friend Iris? As Tamar's emotional angst becomes more and more clear to her, she'll have to figure out a path to forgiveness. A shocking, moving, and darkly funny depiction of life in a psychiatric world. A stunning journey of one girl's mental illness and the redemptive power of truth and healing
