Join readers across The County of Brant for our annual One Book One Brant community reads event! Each year, we invite everyone in the community to read the same book and come together through shared reading experiences, conversations, and special events—culminating in an author visit, happening this April.
This year, we are thrilled to celebrate acclaimed Canadian author Linwood Barclay, a New York Times bestselling author whose gripping thrillers have captivated millions of readers worldwide. Barclay is the author of more than twenty novels, many of which have been adapted for film and television. Linwood is widely praised by fellow authors, including Stephen King!
Our community read for 2025 is Whistle, Barclay’s chilling new supernatural thriller.
About the Book
In Whistle, a grieving mother and her young son move to a small town seeking a fresh start, only to encounter unsettling visions, eerie sounds, and a mysterious train set that seems to have a life of its own. As strange events escalate, our main character begins to wonder whether her past trauma is haunting her—or if something far darker has followed them home…
We invite everyone to join us for this year’s One Book One Brant.
This is sure to be an unforgettable author experience! We can’t wait to see you there. Register today!
