Join us December 9, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. when we discuss Fever Beach by Carl Hiaasen
Dale Figgo is a half-baked crusader with the rare distinction of being kicked out of the Proud Boys—for being too dumb. His latest bad decision? Picking up a hitchhiker on a rainy afternoon while running an errand.
That errand sets off a chain reaction involving Viva Morales, a clever, resilient newcomer trying to rebuild her life post-divorce. She’s renting a room in Figgo’s apartment and working at the Mink Foundation—a philanthropic front with something far darker beneath the surface.
Circling them is Twilly Spree, a hotheaded environmentalist with too much cash and a gift for over-the-top revenge.
When dark money and twisted motives bring their worlds crashing together, Viva and Twilly become unlikely allies. Together, they uncover a tangle of corruption and conspiracy led by a plastic-surgery-loving billionaire couple and a clueless congressman with delusions of grandeur.

The pool is closed but our Fall 2025 StoryWalk is up! Check out the new playground equipment or visit the Memorial Park Fitness Trail. While you are there, be sure to enjoy We Are Definitely Human by X. Fang
When three mysterious visitors from “Europe” crash-land in Mr. Li’s field, he does what any good host would: he invites them back to his farmhouse and offers to help fix up their “car”. No, there’s nothing strange about these guests at all. Just like other humans, they “make business”, “play sportsball” and “wear hat”. As the townsfolk also come to the aid of the visitors and the gathering turns into a little party, interplanetary relations reach an all-time high.
Learn more about StoryWalks and get some ideas for additional activities.
