A book club for school-aged kids!
The Junior Book Club is a great way to introduce your children to books they might not have read otherwise, while connecting with other children and families to share your thoughts on what you're reading.
How does it work?
- Register early to receive a free copy of the book to keep. Call us at 403-887-2130 or email sylvan.library@prl.ab.ca to register for this free program.
- Read the book, do the activities that accompany the book, then meet at the library to discuss. (If we are meeting via Zoom, we will send out an email with the Zoom link for participants to join and discuss their progress in the book and share their thoughts so far.)
Our fall selection is The Ambrose Deception by Emily Ecton. The first 15 participants to sign up will receive a free copy of the book to keep. Loot kits will be available for pick-up starting October 25th. Registration is now open for this event. If registration is full, you are still welcome to attend - just give us a call and we'll create an extra loot kit for you - you will just have to find your own copy of the book to read.
Meet to discuss this book November 4, 16, December 2, with a wrap-up party on December 16. Want to help choose the next book we read? Sign up and join Junior Book Club!
"Melissa is a nobody. Wilf is a slacker. Bondi is a show-off. At least that's what their middle school teachers think. To everyone's surprise, they are the three students chosen to compete for a ten-thousand-dollar scholarship, solving clues that lead them to various locations around Chicago.
At first the three contestants work independently, but it doesn't take long before each begins to wonder whether the contest is a sham.
It's only by secretly joining forces and using their unique talents that the trio is able to uncover the truth behind the Ambrose Deception -- a truth that involves a lot more than just a scholarship." - https://emilyecton.com/books/ambrose-deception.html
