October 2014 Book of the Month   Jam’s life changed forever on the day that Reeve Maxfield died.  She withdraws into herself no longer wishing to live in a world without Reeve.  In desperation her parents enrol her into ‘The Wooden Barn’, a boarding school where other ‘emotionally fragile, highly intelligent’ students are each trying to come to terms with their own personal trauma. 

When Jam is selected for ‘Special Topics in English’ she is initially disinterested but is soon swept along studying Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar and writing in her journal.  Something unusual begins to happen to each of the students.  What is the strange world that is Belzhar and will if finally return them to their lives and the world they left behind? 

Meg Wolitzer's beautiful, poignant writing captures the angst and darkness of a troubled teenage mind perfectly. Belzhar is a breathtaking and surprising story about first love, deep sorrow, and the power of acceptance. ~ Shelley Fallows
