April Wild! Book Club
Well, the weather was so nice that no one came for the book club this month. Unless we get a whole flood of friends for the May 22 get-together, we might have to let this program go and find a different way to enjoy and share stories.

Well, we were a little short on Wild! today - no one came to hang out and talk about books!
Our next get-together is Saturday, April 24 at 1 pm. Remember, everyone in grades 2-6 is welcome to spend some time relaxing and chatting about stories with other book-lovers!

February Wild! Book Club
We had a special guest today - Miss Liz, who is going to school to become a children's librarian, came to the Book Club! She said she'll be here next month too.
We had a small group - Sasha, Miss Liz, and Miss Jennie. But that's okay - we had a lot of fun!
Sasha read Geronimo Stilton and the Gold Medal Mystery by Geronimo Stilton. She really liked the pages that showed the flags of all the countries that participated in the Olympics. Geronimo is her favorite character in the book so far - she hasn't quite finished, but she's really looking forward to it.
Miss Liz read Elijah of Buxton by Christopher Paul Curtis. She said Elijah was her favorite character - he's a young boy, the first one born in a little village formed by freed and runaway slaves. One of the men is trying to save money to bring his family up from the South, but someone else in the village steals it. So it's up to Elijah and a friend to find that person and bring the money home! The book is pretty exciting, and it's written by a Michigan author!
Miss Jennie brought two books: Bones and the Dinosaur Mystery by David Adler and The Master Spy Handbook by Rain Newcomb. Both of them are about detectives! Miss Jennie particularly liked the illustrations in the book about Bones, as well as Bones' friend Miss Sally. And the spy handbook was really useful - there were all sorts of tips on secret codes, disguises, and spy tools. Plus, there was a mystery to solve along the way.
Remember, everyone in grades 2-6 is welcome to join us for next month's meeting: March 27 at 1 pm. See you then!

January Wild! Book Club
This was the very first meeting of our new book club for grades 2-6. We took the official vote to name the book club, and the winner was: Wild! Book Club. We're wild about books around here!
Sasha brought A Dog Named Christmas by Greg Kincaid. Sasha loves dogs and other wild animals, so this book was perfect for her.
Keean read The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman. He enjoyed the adventure after Jemmy and the prince ran away from the palace, and the fact that they learned to be friends.
Miss Jennie brought two books this month, a historical fiction and a fun adventure. The Robber and Me by Joseph Holub was originally written in German and was translated into English. It's a neat story about a boy who moves to a little German village, the friends he makes, and the robber who lives in the forest. Agent Boo by Alex de Campi and Edo Fuijkschot is a great book that's half comic book, half chapter book. The story moves in and out of the illustrations, bringing it to life!
