BBC is reading Elsewhere

This new Abe Award nominee is a keeper, written by Gabrielle Zevin. You're 15 and wake up on a cruise ship bunking with a girl that has a hole in her head. You're not in much better shape since half your head is shaved, this is Liz Hall's story. Liz quickly discovers that she is no longer on earth but in a place called Elsewhere. Elsewhere is similar to our life where people work, go to school, drive cars, and fall in love. Things are reversed in Elsewhere because instead of getting older people get younger with each passing year. Will Liz ever be able to drive or find love? Read Elsewhere with BBC and join us on Sept. 29th for an in depth discussion.

Book Club Meeting: April 9th


This month book club is reading Spanking Shakespeare by Jake Wizner. "Shakespeare Shapiro has always hated his name and has always gotten teased about it all the way through school. However he may get his revenge through his memoirs, a school project that has chronicled every detail of his life."

Read Spanking Shakespeare and join us after school on Friday to discuss one of the new 2011 Abe Lincoln Award nominees.

Teens at Random House offers an Obituary Generator. It just takes seconds to fill in and is good for a laugh. Bring them to book club to share.

New members are always welcomed
