Join us for December’s Teen Book Club on Tuesday, December 16, at 6 PM at Chozen Yogurt. This month we’re diving into "Sally’s Lament" by Mari Mancusi, a magical, mysterious, and heartfelt reimagining of The Nightmare Before Christmas that asks one big question: what if Sally discovered Christmas Town instead of Jack?

Teen Book Club is open to high school students in grades 9–12 who love to read and discuss books that spark imagination, curiosity, and great conversation. Whether you’re a longtime reader, a casual dabbler, or just looking for a fun group to hang out with, you’re welcome here. And yes, there will be frozen yogurt.

In "Sally’s Lament," Sally loves many things about her wonderfully creepy home in Halloween Town, but she can’t shake the feeling that she’s meant for something more than life inside Dr. Finkelstein’s lab. When she learns that Jack Skellington is longing for change too, Sally follows a mysterious vision that leads her straight into the bright and glittering world of Christmas Town. But the longer she stays, the more she begins to suspect that this cheerful winter wonderland might not be as perfect as it seems. What secrets hide behind the sugar plums, the toys, and the ever watchful Naughty List? And will Sally be able to save both of her worlds before it’s too late?

This imaginative and atmospheric tale blends adventure, heart, and holiday magic, offering a fresh look at two iconic towns and one unforgettable heroine on a journey of courage and discovery.
