Wordsprouts, the Park Slope Food Coop’s Reading Series, presents a reading for teens and young adults with author Torrey Maldonado on Friday, October 15 at 7 pm at the Coop.

Torrey Maldonado will read from his first novel, “Secret Saturdays,” which was published in April by Penguin. Inspired by his life and his students’ struggles with bullying, “Secret Saturdays” is about tough choices, friendships, and wanting to fit in.

Also, note that while all Wordsprouts participants are Coop members, you don’t need to be a Coop member to attend the series.
