In this bestselling mystery, first a boy - and later, his sister too - disappears into the woods at a summer camp in the Adirondacks. The story, set in the 1970s, focuses on the wealthy Van Laar family and the local community, exploring themes of class, family secrets, and identity as a present-day search for a missing girl echoes the unsolved disappearance of her brother years earlier, creating a layered drama with a slow-burn mystery.

Join us for this month's Inquiring Minds Book Club. In How Fascism Works, Yale philosopher Jason Stanley identifies ten pillars of fascist politics, arguing that fascism isn't just about dictators but is a political strategy using an "us vs. them" mentality to dismantle democracy, often through propaganda, anti-intellectualism, and creating a sense of victimhood, all while evoking a mythic past. Copies of the book will be available for pick-up at the Teaneck Library one month before the meeting.
