Book Club News

A big thanks to Lilly for her delightful reading in German and English at Junior Book Club yesterday - and a talking cat story - perfection! I never cease to be amazed by our Rivier students. Senior Book Club will proceed as usual tomorrow (Thursday) at 12:05 and I do have a few new books to share with you. Quinn showed me this funny video last night with adults acting out scenarios told by children and it sort of reminded me a little bit of when we had worked on the "travelling story" years ago in our book clubs. Maybe it is the complete randomness of where the story goes that made me think of it! I'll also post the covers of a few of the new books that will be out on the shelves over the next few days. Those of you who enjoy graphic novels will want to look for Cardboard by Doug TenNapel (author of Ghostopolis and Bad Island>) Older students who are fans of Sarah Dessen might be interested in Susane Colasanti's So Much Closer, the story of a girl who uproots her life to follow a boy she believes is her soulmate but ends up learning something about herself... The Mark of Athena and The Rise of Nine are both the latest installments in popular series, and The Goddess Girls have an in-between "super special" called The Girl Games. Just ask me if you don't see any of these titles on the shelves and we will add your name to the waiting list!
