Discussing The Flicker by H.E. Edgmon

Pizza provided!

Hosted by Greenlight staff member Megan, our Tween Grade Book Group is geared toward kids ages 9 to 12, reading and discussing great contemporary and classic chapter books. Pizza is served!

For October, the group discusses The Flicker, H.E. Edgmon's middle grade debut perfect for fans of The Marrow Thieves, Hatchet and The City of Ember. One year ago, a solar flare scorched the Earth and destroyed life as we know it. With their parents gone and supplies running dangerously low, step-sisters Millie and Rose only have one chance at survival: leave home with their infant half-brother and loyal dog Corncob in search of Millie’s grandma, a Seminole elder. A modern classic for the climate change generation, The Flicker is both a thrilling story of survival and a tender exploration of Indigenous ideas of identity and found family.
