This month’s read: Bewilderment by Richard Powers.

Theo Byrne searches for planets far outside our solar system, but his biggest challenge lies closest to home. He’s being pressured to put his nine-year-old son Robbie on medication to help with Robbie’s outbursts. Theo finds a way to help Robbie, but he also learns that the boy’s wonder at the natural world carries its own risks.

We’ll also distribute copies of July’s book, All Creatures Great and Small. (Rain or shine. We’ll stay indoors if the weather is bad.)
