Do you share the love of reading with a pre-teen or teen in your life? Then we have two book club meetings for you! "The Prince of Steel Pier," by Stacy Nockowitz. Recommended for pre-teens and teens 11+. Joey Goodman is spending the summer at his grandparents' struggling hotel in Atlantic City. Nobody in Joey's big family takes him seriously, so when his Skee-Ball skills land him an unusual job offer from a local mobster, he's thrilled to be treated like "one of the guys." Soon Joey realizes where he really belongs: with his family, who drive him crazy, but where no one fights a battle alone. Looking for an event for older teens?
