Tapestry: Hound of Rowan
By Henry Neff

After a trip to the Art Institute in Chicago, where Max discovers a tapestry that literally comes to life in front of him, he is invited to attend Rowan, a very exclusive school on the East Coast. His decision to enroll places him at the center of an ancient power struggle between good and evil. Max is paired with David, a very intelligent and gifted boy. They find themselves sharing a richly decorated room complete with a ceiling that somehow allows them to view the stars. With a kitchen staffed by a hag and a reformed ogre, a pet sanctuary filled with a variety of magical creatures, and a roster of classes that suggest more than just a basic academic education, Rowan continues to surprise them at every turn.

Copies of the novel are available at the library. Snacks are provided for the discussion. Registration is required. For details, log on to www.mcpl.lib.mo.us/programs or ask a library staff member.
