Sips n' Stories Book Club (Code Talker)

Join us on Zoom for a drink and book discussion. We'll make a cocktail and then discuss Code Talker: A Novel About the Navajo Marines of World War Two by Joseph Bruchac (or bring a drink of your choice).

The e-book and Audiobook are available on Libby and the book is available at the library.

Summary: Throughout World War II, in the conflict fought against Japan, Navajo code talkers were a crucial part of the U.S. effort, sending messages back and forth in an unbreakable code that used their native language. They braved some of the heaviest fighting of the war, and with their code, they saved countless American lives. Yet their story remained classified for more than twenty years.
But now Joseph Bruchac brings their stories to life for young adults through the riveting fictional tale of Ned Begay, a sixteen-year-old Navajo boy who becomes a code talker. His grueling journey is eye-opening and inspiring. This deeply affecting novel honors all of those young men, like Ned, who dared to serve, and it honors the culture and language of the Navajo Indians.

Zoom meeting details will be emailed to you when you register. Must be 21 or older.

Upcoming Meeting: Beartown by Fredrik Backman - Thursday, January 8 at 6 pm.
