When and where is the meeting?

Thursday January 11, 4:30-5:30pm IN PERSON @ the Library, 2nd Floor Storytime Room.

This month’s title: The Beautiful Something Else by Ash Van Otterloo

Registration is required.

The first 12 kids who sign up and attend this program will get a free Advance Reader Copy of the book! Limited space & copies available.
If you are on the waitlist and you get your own copy of the book (from another library or purchase a copy) you can attend.

Who is the event for? This group is only for those in grades 4, 5, and 6.

This is based on the content and interest level of the books being read and not reading level.  The group is intended to allow peers in the same grade/age group to discuss books together. There is a strong focus on peer interaction and opinion based discussion and sharing of ideas.

What is this book about?   

It’s exhausting trying to be the perfect daughter. Still, getting good grades without making any waves may be the only way to distract from the fact that Sparrow Malone’s mother is on the verge of falling apart.

When Mom’s attempts to cope spiral out of control, Sparrow is sent to live with Aunt Mags on a sprawling estate full of interesting, colorful new neighbors. And for the first time, trying to fit in doesn’t feel right anymore.

Sparrow begins to realize something life-changing: They don’t feel like a girl. Or a boy. While this discovery is exciting, now Sparrow must decide whether to tell everyone—their new family and friends, not-so-secret crush, and, most importantly, their mom—the truth, especially if it means things change forever.
