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 current selection is Ravenfall by Kalyn Josephson. 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 February 14th. 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 March 3rd, 17th, April 7th, with a wrap-up party on April 21st. Want to help choose the next book we read? Sign up and join Junior Book Club!
"Thirteen-year-old Annabella Ballinkay has never been normal, even by her psychic family’s standards. Every generation uses their abilities to help run the Ravenfall Inn, a sprawling, magical B&B at the crossroads of the human world and the Otherworld. But it’s hard to contribute when your only power is foreseeing death.
So when fourteen-year-old Colin Pierce arrives at Ravenfall searching for his missing older brother and the supernatural creature who killed their parents, Anna jumps at the chance to help. But the mysteries tied to Colin go much deeper than either of them expects. . . .
As the two team up to find answers, they unearth Colin’s family’s secret past and discover that Colin has powers beyond his imagination. And now the supernatural creature, one with eerie origins in Celtic mythology, is coming after him. If Anna and Colin can’t stop the creature by Halloween night, the veil to the Otherworld could be ripped open—which would spell destruction for their world as they know it." - https://kalynjosephson.com/ravenfall
Coming up in May: When You Know What I Know by Sonja K. Solter.
