Adventures in Reading: Young Reader Book Club
September 16, 2024 @ 5:30 pm – 6:30 pm
ou asked – we answered: our new young reader book club is picking up steam! As with all our clubs, book club selections are always 10% off the list price. On Monday, September 16th, we’ll chat about Legends of Lotus Island. The target age range for this book is 8-12.
From three-time Newbery Honor-winning author Christina Soontornvat comes a compelling and immersive young middle grade fantasy series for readers who love stories about animals, magic, and kids like them embracing their power to change the world.
Young Plum is shocked to discover that she’s been accepted to the Guardian Academy on Lotus Island, an elite school where kids learn how to transform into Guardians, magical creatures who are sworn to protect the natural world. The Guardian masters teach Plum and her friends how to communicate with animals and how to use meditation to strengthen their minds and bodies. All the kids also learn to fight, so they can protect the defenseless if needed.
To her dismay, Plum struggles at school. While her classmates begin to transform into amazing creatures, Plum can’t even seem to magic up a single feather! If she can’t embrace her inner animal form soon, she’ll have to leave school ― and lose the first group of real friends she’s ever known.
Moderating the book club is local teacher, Miss Abby! Abby Schmid is an Oklahoma native who moved to Summerville in 2021. She is currently an Elementary teacher in Dorchester District 2.
We all look forward to seeing you on Main Street!
