Blue Island Bookworms – “Wishin’ and Hopin'”

Join the Friends of the Blue Island Public Library for lively discussion of current titles.

The title discussed on Dec. 5 will be Wishin’ and Hopin’ by Wally Lamb.

“Wally Lamb, the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Hour I First Believed, I Know This Much Is True, and She’s Come Undone, delivers a holiday treat with Wishin’ and Hopin’—an unforgettable novella that captures the warmth and joy of the holiday season. Poignant and hilarious, in a vein similar to Jean Shepherd’s A Christmas Story and David Sedaris’s The Santaland Diaries, Lamb’s Christmas tale focuses on a feisty parochial school fifth grader named Felix Funicello—a distant cousin of the iconic Annette!”
