About the course: 7th and 8th grade Girls’ Book Club
Read, discuss, play games, snack, solve puzzles, create, learn, and more! Join us for a monthly book club meeting that will challenge you to think about what you read! We’ll have fun talking about our monthly selection and also weave in some literary learning about topics such as point of view, allusion, types of conflict, irony, foreshadowing, and more. All books available at Monroe County Public Libraries, or to purchase at reasonable cost through Amazon.com.
