Reader's Studio Is Thankful for Historical Fiction!

November is a month of thankfulness, especially in our elementary book club. The Reader's Studio is thankful for the first-timers who came to this month's meeting, which focused on historical fiction. We dicussed thirteen novels, ranging from prehistoric times to the World War II era.

Uzma - Dinosaurs Before Dark by Mary Pope Osborne (prehistoric)

Elliot - Cave Dave by Carol McAdams Moore (prehistoric)

Emma - My Name Is Phillis Wheatley by Afua Cooper (mid-1700s)

Reader's Studio Went Around the World!

It's a new year for our 2nd-5th grade book club, with a new format. While each month is still genre-based and features some excellent discussions, we've traded in our sack suppers for fun crafts. For our September 20th meeting, we all brought books from "Around the World". Here's a list of what our book clubbers shared:

1. Miss Mary Ann = First Light by Rebecca Stead (Greenland)

2. Aziza = Monsoon by Uma Krishnaswami (India)

3. Kaya = Bleach #7 by Tite Kuba (Japan)

And the winner is . . . Children's and Teen Book Awards 2010

The American Library Association announced all of their major awards for Children's and Teen books and media on Monday, January 18, 2010. For a complete list of winners and honors, please check out their website.
