    No Matter the Distance tells the story of Penny Rooney, who has cystic fibrosis, which means she has to do breathing treatments to help her lungs work. Some days, it seems like her CF is the only thing Penny knows about herself for sure. From her point of view, everyone around her can make sense of their place in the world. Then during spring break Penny spots something impossible in the creek behind her house: a dolphin, far from its home. As Pennys CF worsens, she realizes that Rose needs to return to her pod to get better. Will Penny be able to help guide Rose back to the ocean, even if it means losing her friend?

    Cindy Baldwin is the author of the critically acclaimed novels Where the Watermelons Grow, Beginners Welcome, The Stars of Whistling Ridge, and No Matter the Distance (a Junior Library Guild selection). She lives just outside Portland, Oregon, with her husband and daughter. *yani* *ani*

    6:00 PM - Saturday - Caldera High School

    Join us for the final Novel Idea 2024 event.

    Free tickets are available on-line at www.dplfoundation.org starting May 13. Two tickets per person limit.

    About the Author:Emily Habeck has a BFA in Theater from Southern Methodist Universitys Meadows School of the Arts, as well as masters degrees from Vanderbilt Divinity School and Vanderbilts Peabody College. Her debut novel Shark Heart: A love Story was a Book of the Month selection, a New York Times book review editors choice, and the #1 Indie Next pick for August 2023. She is from Ardmore, Oklahoma and currently lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

    About the Book:A gorgeous debut novel of marriage, motherhood, metamorphosis, and letting go, this intergenerational love story begins with newlyweds Wren and her husband, Lewis - a man who, over the course of nine months, transforms into a great white shark.

    For Lewis and Wren, their first year of marriage is also their last. A few weeks after their wedding, Lewis receives a rare diagnosis. He will retain most of his consciousness, memories, and intellect, but his physical body will gradually turn into a great white shark. As Lewis develops the features and impulses of one of the most predatory creatures in the ocean, his complicated artists heart struggles to make peace with his unfulfilled dreams.

    At first, Wren internally resists her husbands fate. Is there a way for them to be together after Lewis changes? Then, a glimpse of Lewis developing carnivorous nature activates long-repressed memories for Wren, whose story vacillates between her childhood living on a houseboat in Oklahoma, her time with a college ex-girlfriend, and her unusual friendship with a woman pregnant with twin birds. Woven throughout this bold novel is the story of Wrens mother, Angela, who becomes pregnant with Wren at fifteen in an abusive relationship amidst her parents crumbling marriage. In the present, all of Wrens grief eventually collides, and she is forced to make an impossible choice.

    A sweeping love story that is at once lyrical and funny, airy and visceral, Shark Heart is an unforgettable novel about lifes perennial questions, the fragility of memories, finding joy amidst grief, and creating a meaningful life. This daring debut marks the arrival of a wildly talented new writer abounding with originality, humor, and heart.

    Grow your child into a confident music maker!

    Registration is required. This workshop is intended for children ages 0-5, and all children must be accompanied by a caregiver.

    Music Together-Central Oregon is an early childhood music and movement program for children ages 0-5 and the grownups who love them! The early childhood music curriculum has decades of research behind it, in both music education and child development. Our music classes help little ones develop their innate musicality and so much more! And because we know that young children learn best from the powerful role models in their lives, music classes show parents and caregivers how to help their children become confident music-makers just by having fun making music themselves.

    About the Instructor: Ms. Stephanie grew up with music as a constant in her life. When she and her spouse started a family of their own, she was excited to share the joy of music with their kids too. Stephanie heard about the Music Together program from a friend and was instantly hooked after the first class! She and her children completed the entire cycle of music collections, and the years of participating in the program have been impactful to the whole family. Watching her own children grow their basic music competence has been a joy filled with constant surprises. Stephanie is thrilled to share the joy and discovery of the Music Together program with more families throughout Central Oregon.

    Discuss The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer.

    A retired bestselling author hosts a one-of-a-kind competition, with high risks and high rewards-giving the winner a chance to change lives. Lucy Hart has come a long way since feeling the cold neglect of her parents, whose attention always centered around her chronically ill sister's needs. Now a twenty-six-year-old teacher's aide, Lucy is able to share her love of books with bright, young students, and one in particular, a seven-year-old orphan named Christopher, has her yearning for a family of her own. The Clock Island books were Lucy's passion and refuge as a child, and now she shares them with Christopher, who's become as big of a fan as she ever was. No matter how badly Lucy wants him in her life, even the idea of adopting him seems out of reach without proper funds and stability. Then a blue envelope arrives at her school, inviting Lucy to compete for the one and only copy of Jack Masterson's final novel in the iconic Clock Island series. No one has seen or heard from Jack Masterson in years, but now four diehard Clock Island fans have received the invitation of a lifetime to stay on his private island and compete for the final installment, and un-published manuscript, of the well-loved series. For Lucy, a chance to read the last-ever Clock Island book is a prize worth playing for, but the possibility of winning and securing a better future for her and Christopher means everything.

    Discuss Witch Boy by Molly Knox Ostertag

    In thirteen-year-old Aster's family, all the girls are raised to be witches, while boys grow up to be shapeshifters. Anyone who dares cross those lines is exiled. Unfortunately for Aster, he still hasn't shifted... and he's still fascinated by witchery, no matter how forbidden it might be. When a mysterious danger threatens the other boys, Aster knows he can help -- as a witch. It will take the encouragement of a new friend, the non-magical and non-conforming Charlie, to convince Aster to try practicing his skills. And it will require even more courage to save his family... and be truly himself.

    Discuss Greek Lessons by Kang Han.
    Join via Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81379121846

    *zm*
    In a classroom in Seoul, a young woman watches her Greek language teacher at the blackboard. She tries to speak but has lost her voice. Her teacher finds himself drawn to the silent woman, for day by day he is losing his sight. Soon the two discover a deeper pain binds them together. For her, in the space of just a few months, she has lost both her mother and the custody battle for her nine-year-old son. For him, it's the pain of growing up between Korea and Germany, being torn between two cultures and languages, and the fear of losing his independence. Greek Lessons tells the story of two ordinary people brought together at a moment of private anguish-the fading light of a man losing his vision meeting the silence of a woman who has lost her language.

    Pick up a book at Sisters Library or email paigeb@deschuteslibrary.org to request a book.
