About the Virtual Adventure

Introducing our New ABTB Book Club Series!

Adventures by the Book is delighted to welcome 7 new ABTB Ambassadors, who are helping us launch our new ABTB Book Club Series. The monthly series will alternate between virtual Zoom events, in person San Diego, California events, and hybrid in person/virtual Harrison, New York, events. Each month, our Ambassadors will select a new Adventures by the Book author and book to discuss, and we will send out invites for you to join us as you are able, whether in person or virtually.

We invite you to join us at our next virtual event, featuring book club favorite andbestselling authors Sara Ackerman and Donna Jones Alward, in a moderated book club discussion with 3 of our esteemed Ambassadors, Simon Chibuk (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada), Jennifer Erickson (Chicago, Illinois), Dorothy Minor (Broken Arrow, Oklahoma), and YOU!

Whether you are already part of an existing book club, or have been wanting to join one, our ABTB Book Club is open to all. Read the book, which we encourage, or not, if you don’t have time, but come join us anyway and be part of the shared reading experience.

*Pre-order your copies of The Maui Effect and/or When the World Fell Silent (below) and we will ship it to you, so that you can read one or both prior to the event.

About the Authors and Books

Sara Ackerman is the Hawai’i born, bestselling author of historical & contemporary novels set in the islands. Her books have been labeled “unforgettable” by Apple Books, “empowering & deliciously visceral” by Book Riot, and New York Times bestselling authors Kate Quinn and Madeline Martin have praised Sara’s novels as “fresh and delightful” and “brilliantly written.”

In Sara’s thunderous new love story, The Maui Effect, travel deep into the Maui rainforest and hop across the globe from Maui to Mavericks to Portugal, chasing waves the size of nine story buildings–where the unthinkable is always just one breath away.
