SOUTH PARIS — The Novel Idea Book Club will meet at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 19, to discuss author Linda Park’s “Seesaw Girl,” a juvenile historical novel set in Korea.
The club meets at the Paris Public Library, 37 Market Square. The club is for adults and youth to read, discuss and learn from children’s and youth books.
Jade Blossom can never go beyond her family’s inner court. All girls from good Korean families must learn to sew, do laundry and work in the kitchen. This prepares them for their future lives in their husbands’ inner court.
Jade has other interests. She longs to take trips to the mountains and the marketplace. If only she could read and paint, but these are things only boys can do. Jade won’t stop thinking about the world beyond the high walls of her home. Then one day she secretly sets off to do what no other girl her age has ever done before.”
