The Books Nooks Book Club - A Kids Book Club!
Event by Fred & June's Books
Description
Have a kiddo that loves to read and wants to make some new book loving friends? How about maybe you want to expose your 8-12 year old to new reads that maybe they won't normally gravitate to so they can expand their mind? All while doing a free craft too? The new "The Books Nook" Book Club is perfect for you then!
This is a kids book club aimed for, but not limited to, ages 8-12. Books will be announced at each meeting and you’ll have a month to read it. At each meeting we will discuss the book and provide a free craft/activity. Meetings will be on the last Tuesday of the month from 5:30-6:30 pm. Adult supervision is required, but who don'ts want some time to relax in a cozy bookstore while your kids are entertained?!
This month we are reading Stolen Girl by Marsha Forchuk Skrypuch:
A companion to Making Bombs for Hitler and The War Below, this novel follows a Ukrainian girl who was kidnapped as a child to be raised by a Nazi family.
Nadia is haunted by World War II. Her memories of the war are messy, coming back to her in pieces and flashes she can't control. Though her adoptive mother says they are safe now, Nadia's flashbacks keep coming.Sometimes she remembers running, hunger, and isolation. But other times she remembers living with a German family, and attending big rallies where she was praised for her light hair and blue eyes.
