About the WFDD Book Club
- The WFDD Book Club meets quarterly at Scuppernong Books in Greensboro and Book Ferret in Winston-Salem.
- Scuppernong Books, Bookmarks, and Book Ferret all offer discounts on current book club selections. Just let them know you're part of the club when you make your purchase.
- The WFDD Book Club also enjoys a partnership with the Guilford College Bryan Series. Each year, one or more of our book selections is a book by a Bryan Series speaker. The Bryan Series donates four tickets to see that speaker, which we raffle off to book club members.
Our next meeting is:
October 12th at 2pm
Virtual Book Club - October 16th, 6PM
Regretfully, our in person events conflict with Yom Kippur. If you can not attend either event for whatever reason we invite you to attend our Zoom Book Club on October 16th. We look forward to discussing the book with you then!

About the Book
A magical island. A dangerous task. A burning secret.
Linus Baker leads a quiet, solitary life. At forty, he lives in a tiny house with a devious cat and his old records. As a Case Worker at the Department in Charge Of Magical Youth, he spends his days overseeing the well-being of children in government-sanctioned orphanages.
When Linus is unexpectedly summoned by Extremely Upper Management he's given a curious and highly classified assignment: travel to Marsyas Island Orphanage, where six dangerous children reside: a gnome, a sprite, a wyvern, an unidentifiable green blob, a were-Pomeranian, and the Antichrist. Linus must set aside his fears and determine whether or not they’re likely to bring about the end of days.
But the children aren’t the only secret the island keeps. Their caretaker is the charming and enigmatic Arthur Parnassus, who will do anything to keep his wards safe. As Arthur and Linus grow closer, long-held secrets are exposed, and Linus must make a choice: destroy a home or watch the world burn.
An enchanting story, masterfully told, The House in the Cerulean Sea is about the profound experience of discovering an unlikely family in an unexpected place—and realizing that family is yours.
