We had a small but mighty group on Wed. April 16th to discuss Evan Munday's Dead Kids Detective Agency.  We had some character trading cards with Morna, Derek, Tabitha, Cyril and the other dead kids, as well as October Schwartz herself! 

We had fun creating blackout poetry -- using pages of discarded books and a sharpie we erased or blacked out excess words to keep the finest to create a poem!  In keeping with the writerly theme we also created poems from magnetic poetry!  We did not play Scrabble as much as Mr. Schwartz would have liked us too...

Our next meeting is our last for this year -- we'll register the Mother Daughter Book Club again for fall starting on Wed. Sept. 3.  First session will be Wed. Sept. 17 -- we'll meet the third Wednesday from Sept 2014 until May 2015, but no session in December.  Register both mother's name and daughter's name -- and we'll see you in September.

But for May!  We couldn't decide on My Name is Parvana by Deborah Ellis OR The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery, so everyone took both!  Read whichever one you like and we'll discuss both!  We will also be watching a movie for our last session -- you can vote on which title on our Doodle poll.  I'll email you the link.  The Elegance of the Hedgehog?  Frozen?  The Mortal Instruments?

See you Wed. May 21, 6:15- - 8:30 pm -- we'll meet earlier to accommodate movie watching and we'll have lots of chips, popcorn, pop and juice on hand.  Bring a friend too if you like!
