Teens are invited to sign up for our Teen Book Bag to receive this month’s selection, The Downstairs Girl by Stacey Lee, along with a selection of themed goodies! Our next meeting will be held on April 4th at 3:30 p.m., where we’ll discuss the book and explore themes of identity, resilience, and the power of using your voice.
The Downstairs Girl follows Jo Kuan, a sharp-witted 17-year-old living in 1890s Atlanta. By day, she works as a lady’s maid for a wealthy and unkind employer. By night, she secretly writes an anonymous newspaper column as “Miss Sweetie,” boldly challenging societal norms and stirring up conversations about race, gender, and justice. But as Jo’s words gain attention, the risks of being discovered—and the secrets of her own past—begin to unravel.
This novel weaves together history, activism, and humor in a compelling story about finding one’s place in a world determined to keep some voices silent. Fans of historical fiction and fierce, unforgettable heroines won’t want to miss this powerful read!
