This month, we will discuss Street Boys by Lorenzo Carcaterra. In war-torn Naples during the final days of World War II, survival belongs to the bold, the desperate—and the young. When Allied forces push the Germans out of Italy, one small band of streetwise orphans refuse to abandon their city. Armed with nothing but raw courage, cunning instincts, and a will to live, these boys take on the impossible: defending Naples against retreating Nazi forces. Based on actual events, Street Boys is a gripping, heart-pounding tale of resilience, unlikely heroism, and the enduring spirit of youth in the darkest of times.

Special Guest Appearance: Author Lorenzo Carcaterra will join us in person to discuss the book and his writing journey.
