5th-8th Grade Book Club

5th - 8th Graders
Do you love to read?  Book Club is a great way to spend an hour with other kids who share your love of books! We meet once a month, October through April.  Each month will feature a different book and you can register one month at a time.  Activities, discussion, and snacks will round out the evening! Kids can register and pick up a book at the Youth Desk beginning October 17.  November's book is Chasing Vermeer by Blue Balliett.  

"When a book of unexplainable occurrences brings Petra and Calder together, strange things start to happen: Seemingly unrelated events connect; an eccentric old woman seeks their company; an invaluable Vermeer painting disappears. Before they know it, the two find themselves at the center of an international art scandal. As Petra and Calder are drawn clue by clue into a mysterious labyrinth, they must draw on their powers of intuition, their problem solving skills, and their knowledge of Vermeer. Can they decipher a crime that has stumped even the FBI?" (Amazon.com)
