READ THIS BOOK!
Your Nantucket Booksellers absolutely loved it!
Daisy is a girl coming of age in L.A. in the late sixties, sneaking into clubs on the Sunset Strip, sleeping with rock stars, and dreaming of singing at the Whisky a Go Go. The sex and drugs are thrilling, but it’s the rock ’n’ roll she loves most. By the time she’s twenty, her voice is getting noticed, and she has the kind of heedless beauty that makes people do crazy things.
Also getting noticed is The Six, a band led by the brooding Billy Dunne. On the eve of their first tour, his girlfriend Camila finds out she’s pregnant, and with the pressure of impending fatherhood and fame, Billy goes a little wild on the road.
Daisy and Billy cross paths when a producer realizes that the key to supercharged success is to put the two together. What happens next will become the stuff of legend.
The making of that legend is chronicled in this riveting and unforgettable novel, written as an oral history of one of the biggest bands of the seventies. Taylor Jenkins Reid is a talented writer who takes her work to a new level with
Daisy Jones & The Six,
brilliantly capturing a place and time in an utterly distinctive voice.

Our Spring 2019 Nantucket Book Foundation Visiting Author is
~ Jason Reynolds ~
He will be visiting our schools on April 4th, 2019 thanks to a generous grant from the Nantucket Golf Club.
The Nantucket Book Foundation Visiting Author Program was created to fill a need expressed by the Nantucket Public Schools to bring in authors who are relevant to the current curriculum and who reflect the growing diversity of our student population. For our island students, to be given a book, and then to have the book studied and discussed, followed by an actual visit by the author, is an incredible opportunity to connect with the writer. Our program offers students a window into understanding the writing process, to be able to ask questions of the author, to delve into what shaped this writer’s life and what created the themes of the book. Working in partnership with teachers and librarians, our efforts in connecting students with the authors of books which have been read, studied and discussed creates a dynamic that is hard to match. Sparks ignite; readers are born.
Nantucket Book Foundation Board President and NBF Visiting Author Program creator, Mary Haft, says it best: “Of all the stars in the literary universe that are lighting up skies for children, Jason is his own constellation.”
Jason Reynolds is a New York Times bestselling author, a Newbery Award Honoree, a Printz Award Honoree, National Book Award Honoree, a Kirkus Award winner, a two time Walter Dean Myers Award winner, an NAACP Image Award Winner, and the recipient of multiple Coretta Scott King honors. The American Booksellers Association’s 2017 spokesperson for Indies First, his many books include
When I Was the Greatest, Boy in the Black Suit, All American Boys (co-written with Brendan Kiely), As Brave as You, For Every One, the Track series
(
Ghost, Patina, Sunny, and Lu
), and
Long Way Down
, which received both a Newbery Honor and a Printz Honor.
