We have reorganized the Teen Book Club in order to make it more fun for YOU!
We kick off the first discussion on Monday, November 12th at 5pm, followed by monthly meetings the second Monday of the month at 5pm in the classroom.
Our Book Club will split into a "Guys Read" and "Girls Read." The Guys will read "Slam!" bu Walter Dean Myers...Greg "Slam" Harris can do it all on the baskeball court, and he knows he could be one of the lucky ones to make it all the way to the top. But his failing grades and volatile temper are becoming obstacles to the success he yearns for. Slam's going one-on-one with his future, and it's a showdown he can't afford to lose.
The Girls will talk about"The Earth, My Butt & Other Big Round Things" by Carolyn Mackler...
Fifteen-year-old Virginia Shreves is the blond, round, average daughter in a family of dark-haired, thin superstars. Her best friend has moved away, and she's on the fringes at her private Manhattan school. The story follows Virginia as she tries to lose weight, struggles with her "imperfections," and deals with the knowledge that her idealized older brother has committed date rape. There's a lot going on here, but it provides a hopeful ending for those trying stand on their own two feet.
Don't miss it...it's going to be great fun. Teens will vote on the next selections at the November meeting!
