Tween Book Club
Tween Book Club is a monthly book club suggested for tweens ages 8-12 where we will read age-appropriate titles from all genres, have a snack, and do a book-related activity!
Copies of our monthly book will be placed on hold and can be picked up from our front desk before our meeting. Most of the time they are also available on Hoopla or Libby.
We will take time to share thoughts on the book and chat about our general reading interests!

This month’s book is Lumberjanes, Volume 1 by Shannon Watters, ND Stevenson, Gus Allen, Grace Ellis and various illustrators:

Five best friends spending the summer at Lumberjane scout camp…defeating yetis, three-eyed wolves, and giant falcons…what’s not to love?!
Friendship to the max! Jo, April, Mal, Molly and Ripley are five best pals determined to have an awesome summer together…and they’re not gonna let any insane quest or an array of supernatural critters get in their way! Not only is it the second title launching in our new BOOM! Box imprint but LUMBERJANES is one of those punk rock, love-everything-about-it stories that appeals to fans of basically all excellent things. It’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Gravity Falls and features five butt-kicking, rad teenage girls wailing on monsters and solving a mystery with the whole world at stake. And with the talent of acclaimed cartoonist ND Stevenson, talented newcomer Grace Ellis writing, and Gus Allen on art, this is going to be a spectacular series that you won’t want to miss.
