Tween Book Club
Joseph E. Coleman Northwest Regional Library
Do you love to read? Do you love to talk about what you've read? Then join us for a book club this summer, for kids ages 8 to 12 years old. The group will meet in person (and on Zoom if needed) on Wednesdays, to talk about Mañanaland, by Pam Muñoz Ryan. Please stop by and see Ms. Jane to pick up a copy.
Here's the story (from the Author's website):
"Maximiliano Córdoba loves stories, especially the legend Buelo tells him about a mythical gatekeeper who can guide brave travelers who are true of heart on a journey into tomorrow.
If Max could see tomorrow, he would know if he’d make Santa Maria’s celebrated fútbol team, and whether he’d ever meet his mother, who disappeared when he was a baby. He longs to know more about her, but Papa won’t talk. So when Max uncovers a buried family secret—involving an underground network of guardians who lead people fleeing a neighboring country to safety—he decides to seek answers on his own.
With a treasured compass, a mysterious stone rubbing, and Buelo’s legend as his only guides, he sets out on a dangerous quest to discover if he is true of heart and what the future holds."
Wednesdays, July 13 - August 3. For more info, contact Jane Easley - call 215-685-2152, or email easleyj@freelibrary.org
