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 December 18th at 5:30 pm to discuss! 

This month's book is The Creatures of the Pines by Adam Gidwitz.

 Here's a short summary courtesy of the publisher:  Unicorns are real. (At least we think they are.)

Are you ready to protect the creatures of myth and legend? Then you belong in The Unicorn Rescue Society. HURRY- THE CREATURES NEED YOU! 

Elliot Eisner isn't exactly thrilled with the first day at his new school. His class is going on a field trip to a creepy forest called the Pine Barrens. The trip is being led by Professor Fauna, the weirdest teacher Elliot has ever met. And the only kid who will talk to Elliot, Uchenna Devereaux, isn't afraid of danger. She likes danger. 

Elliot and Uchenna are about to become part of a secret group of adventures. The Unicorn Rescue Society, whose goal is to protect and defend the world's mystical creatures. Together with Professor Fauna, Elliot and Uchenna must help rescue a Jersey Devil from a duo of conniving, greedy billionaires, the Schmoke Brothers. 

Join Elliot and Uchenna on their very first quest as members of the Unicorn Rescue Society in this fantasy-adventure series from Adam Gidwitz, the beloved bestselling and Newberry Honor-winning author of The Inquisitors Tale and A Tale Dark & Grimm. 

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