Name: Blakeford Book Club
Members: Sylvia Dupre, Mary Laura Philpott, Ben Oddo
Ages: 89, 47, 32
What fruit would each member be?:
Mary Laura: "Maybe a grapefruit. I like grapefruit a lot. It looks a lot like an orange but it's a little more complex. It's a little bitter. Also I think its name is funny. Grape-fruit. It's not a grape. A grapefruit has a sense of humor."
Sylvia: "Can I be a vegetable? A zucchini. They are versatile. You can make zucchini bread. You can have a zucchini soufflé. You can have a zucchini salad. It's just versatile. Easy to grow. Plays well with others."
Ben: "I think I would be a plantain. You think I'm a banana, but I'm a plantain, you know what I mean?"
Check out Mary Laura's latest book, Bomb Shelter, which hits shelves April 12th, 2022!
