The Summer edition of the Drawn and Quarterly Junior Manga Bookclub invites young people between 9 and 12 years old to read the suggested mangas and meet up to discuss the books. Whether you’ve read the first book in the series or all of them, you’re welcome to join us to discuss the world of these characters and share or learn more facts about every series. The club is hosted by Felix Mendritzki who is a 10 year old manga fan. He chose the books that he felt would spark the best conversations as well as introduce new books to seasoned manga lovers and newbies alike. It’s a very relaxed setting that will be led by the kids and what they want to discuss. It’s a great reason to pick up a book during the summer! This is a bilingual bookclub, with discussion happening in French or English, and kids are welcome to read either language version of the book.
WHEN: Tuesday September 10th, 5-6 pm
WHERE: Espace Drawn & Quarterly, 176 Rue Bernard O
