We are reading the 2024 Newbery Honor Book, The Many Assassinations of Samir, by Daniel Nayeri. Copies of the book are available at the library. The Book Club is held at the Draper Senior Center.
This month, we are discussing the 2024 Newbery Honor Book, The Many Assassinations of Samir, the Seller of Dreams, by Daniel Nayeri.
This is the tale of an exciting journey along the Silk Road with a young Monk and his newfound guardian, Samir, a larger than life character and the so-called “Seller of Dreams”. The man is a scammer; his biggest skill being the ability to talk his way into getting what he wants. While that talking did save Monkey’s life, it has left a lot of people furious with Samir— furious enough to hire assassins. Monkey decides to try and save Samir from the attempts on his life—as a way to pay off his debt! If he can save Samir six times, he’ll be a free man...but will they all survive that long?
The Book Club meets on the Second Monday of each month from 12:00 to 1:00 pm at the Draper Senior Center.
