The Next Chapter Book Club helps people with disabilities enjoy books, friends, and their community. In normal times, our group meets weekly in the neighborhood of our first two Friendship Houses at Dozen Bakery. Our friends visit, and read a book together, enjoying the experience of being transported to different worlds where they meet interesting characters and learn about exciting new things. Taking that journey with a group of friends makes it even more fun. Even though they’ll be reading together virtually for the time being, they’ll be reading together via Zoom.

The group has begun reading The New York Times bestseller, “The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell” by Chris Colfer. Alex and Conner Bailey’s world is about to change . . . when the twins’ grandmother gives them a treasured fairytale book, they have no idea they’re about to enter a land beyond all imagining: the Land of Stories, where fairy tales are real.

This week’s facilitator is Janice Duffy.
