Peoria Reads: Warrior Girl Unearthed Discussion
Join us for a discussion of Peoria Reads’ chosen book Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley. In celebration of our 25th anniversary of Peoria Reads, Peoria Public Library and our partners have chosen a book that resonates with our roots. Our first roots. Long before the city of Peoria existed, the Illinois River Valley was populated by a confederation of Native American tribes, including the Peoria tribe. There is value in revisiting our history, even when it is through the lens of contemporary fiction, specifically a high-stakes YA heist novel. You’re going to love our chosen book! Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley blends an exciting museum heist plot with deep cultural education about Indigenous repatriation and missing women. Open to teens and adults. Before her author visit on November 14th!
