You are here and we're so glad!

So, you signed up. 

You got your books. 

You're getting the emails. 

You're following us on Instagram

....now what?

For the next four months, you'll have the chance to meet and talk to the authors of the books, meet and talk to other students at any Durham County Library, and win prizes when you participate in our book-related challenges. You can do all these things or none of them. It's totally your choice.

We do hope that you'll be able to join us for one small group discussion each month - you pick your favorite or closest library and sign up in advance. If you can join the same group each month, you'll get to know those people even better! Details for each book will be announced on the first of each month, but you can check out the Durham County Library's website for dates at specific locations.

We want to publish your work!

Each month, we’ll give you different prompts to give you a chance to get your work published on our blog! Writing prompts will ask you to write a short essay or story to think creatively, and art prompts encourage your illustrations: whether it’s by hand or digital, that’s up to you.


In Dragon Pearl, there are different supernaturals: dragons, goblins, tigers, and foxes.

Writing Prompt: If you could be a supernatural, which one would you be and why? What good could you accomplish with your powers? On the other hand, what possible temptations and dangers could there be?

OR

Art Prompt: If you could be a supernatural, what would you look like? Design your spirit.

Which spirit are you?

In Dragon Pearl, there are lots of different supernaturals. We made a personality quiz to help you know your type. Let us know how close we were!
