Boskone Book Club tradition continues with Brandon Sanderson’s The Rithmatist

The annual Boskone Book Club continues in 2017! Join us for a conversation that brings con-goers together to consider one noteworthy work at length. This year we are reading The Rithmatist by Guest of Honor Brandon Sanderson.

The discussion will also include a short Q&A with the author about the book. To participate, please read the book and come ready with your observations.

The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson

The Rithmatist is Brandon Sanderson’s New York Times bestselling epic teen adventure and a New York Times Book Review Notable Children’s Book of 2013.

More than anything, Joel wants to be a Rithmatist. Rithmatists have the power to infuse life into two-dimensional figures known as Chalklings. Rithmatists are humanity’s only defense against the Wild Chalklings. Having nearly overrun the territory of Nebrask, the Wild Chalklings now threaten all of the American Isles.

As the son of a lowly chalkmaker at Armedius Academy, Joel can only watch as Rithmatist students learn the magical art that he would do anything to practice. Then students start disappearing—kidnapped from their rooms at night, leaving trails of blood. Assigned to help the professor who is investigating the crimes, Joel and his friend Melody find themselves on the trail of an unexpected discovery—one that will change Rithmatics—and their world—forever.

 

If you wish to join the Boskone Book Club discussion, please read the book, and come ready with your observations. We look forward to seeing you at Boskone 54!
