Booketh club wast so much excit'ment!
As you can see, our book club discussion on "All's Faire in Middle School" was very high-spirited! We spent the morning puzzling over medieval language and sampling "fairy elephant ears." We also pretended to be princesses and created some lovely princess accessories. We all agreed that Victoria Jamieson is a genius and should write all the graphic novels forevermore. Okay! Maybe we didn't all say that, but we all really loved "All's Faire in Middle School."
With that being said our next book has a lot to live up to, but it comes highly recommended. The next book club meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 12 at 7:30 am, and the book will be "Bubble" by Stewart Foster.
Wonder meets Mark Haddon in the poignant and uplifting debut novel about superheroes, super-nurses, and the beauty you can find in hope.
Eleven-year-old Joe has never had a life outside of the hospital, with its beeping machines and view of London’s rooftops. His condition means he’s not allowed outside, not even for a moment, and his few visitors risk bringing life-threatening germs inside his bubble. Then a new nurse offers Joe the possibility of going outside. But Joe doesn’t know if the nurse is serious—or whether he could survive the adventure.
Bubble is the touching story of how Joe spends his days, copes with his loneliness and frustration, and looks—with superhero-style bravery, curiosity, and hope—to a future without limits.
