Are you a fan of the movie? (released TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO!) How about the Book Series by Alice Hoffman that started it all?

If so, you are no-doubt SO excited for the release of a SECOND MOVIE (this September), and SO ARE WE!

So, to celebrate, we've got:
- Copies of ALL FOUR TITLES for this month's Book Club (Sept 16)
AND
- A Special Screening of the Original Movie planned (Sept 10)

Read one of the books, OR read them all!
In the order they were written, OR their chronological timeline!

And don't miss the movie showing - FREE if you RSVP. Call or text 780-354-2930 to put your name on the guest list!
