Carroway Island Readers’ Club,

Welcome to Carroway Island, where the watermen have long memories, the mayor has explanations, and a pie can become a public scandal.

Hosted by author Robert Gill Jr., this club brings readers together to discuss the Carroway Chronicles and Carroway Island Library: stories of humor, mystery, history, and life on a fictional Chesapeake Bay island.

Discover books including The Phantom Skipjack, The Marsh Bell, The Curious Trial of Josiah Wren, and The Carroway Island Pie Scandal. Ask the author questions, share your favorite passages, and explore the characters and real Chesapeake traditions behind the stories. Free discussion guides are available.

We’ll begin with informal message-board conversations, so you can participate whenever it suits you. Any scheduled gatherings will be announced here.

New readers are welcome, no previous visits to Carroway required. Please keep discussions friendly, respect differing opinions, and label spoilers.

Pull up a chair. Somebody has a story.
