We are so excited to offer a family book club! Kids in grades 3-7 and their caregiver will read the same book, and we will meet on May 22nd at 6 pm to discuss! 

This month's book is Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi.

 Here's a short summary courtesy of the publisher: There are only three things that matter to twelve-year-old Alice Alexis Queensmeadow: Mother, who wouldn't miss her; magic and color, which seem to elude her; and father who always loved her. The day Father disappears from Ferenwood he takes nothing but a ruler with him. But it's been almost three years since then, and Alice is determined to find him. She lovers her father even more than she loves adventure, and she's about to embark on one to find the other. 

But bringing Father home is no small matter. In order to find him she'll have to travel through the mythical, dangerous land of Furthermore, where down can be up, paper is alive, and left can be both right and very, very wrong. It will take all of Alice's wits (and every limb she's got) to find Father and return home to Ferenwood in one piece. On her quest to find Father, Alice must first find herself- and hold fast to the magic of love in the face of loss. 

Registration is required for this event! Books can be picked up in the Children's Room!
