(GWD) Tween Book Club: Alcatraz Vs The Evil Librarians
July 12 @ 2:00 pm – 2:45 pm
Ages: 10-12
Love to read? Join us for a brand new book club for Tweens only. The Library provides each tween a copy of the book to read and we will discuss the book together! This is also a time to socialize, give book suggestions, and eat snacks!
Once you have registered, you can come by the Teen Center to pick up your copy of the book. Registration will open below on Saturday, June 21 @ 10AM.
About the Book:
Genre: Fantasy – MG Fiction
On my thirteenth birthday, I, Alcatraz Smedry (yes, I got named after a prison, don’t ask) received my inheritance: a bag of sand. And then I accidentally destroyed my foster parents’ kitchen. It’s not my fault, things just break around me, I swear!
I thought the sand was a joke until evil Librarians came to steal it. You’re probably thinking, “Librarians are nice people who recommend good books,” but that’s just what they want you to think! It turns out they’re actually a secret cult keeping the truth from you―a hidden world filled with magical eyeglasses, talking dinosaurs, and knights with crystal swords!
Or so my Grandpa Smedry claimed when he suddenly showed up to rescue me. So now I have to go with him to invade the local library and get that sand back, before it’s used to conquer the world. And Grandpa says how I keep breaking things is actually an amazing talent. There’s no way that can all be true, right?
Book Club Expectations:
After attending book club, you can keep your copy of the book!
If you pick up the book, but don’t show up for book club, you will be unable to get a free copy for the next book club.
If you don’t finish reading the book in time, you are still welcome to come and discuss what you did read if you don’t mind spoilers!
If you hated the book, come to book club and tell us why it was the worst book ever! That also means you can come even if you don’t finish reading it because you thought it was so bad. Be prepared to explain why!If you realize you can’t come to the book discussion, please return the book ASAP to the Library so another person can take the slot. You can still get a free copy next time!
