Kids’ Book Club

This week, I had the best time ever at a Kids’ Book Club.  This particular club is sponsored by the St. Ignace (Michigan) Public Library, and, because the kids had chosen to read my book SISU, they invited me to come to the discussion group.  We had a ball!  The kids range from sixth through eighth grades.  Their interests are eclectic and varied, but they have one thing in common – they love to read. 

I went expecting to do most of the talking and all the question-asking, but they chipped in, had very erudite answers and questions.  These are smart, personable kids.  I felt very honored to be invited and to participate.  We also had some extra joys in that several moms were there, and that one of them prepared a scumptious Finnish pancake treat!  How great is that!  A local children’s book author came with her kids.  I’m looking forward to reading her book, WHAT I SAW ON MACKINAC by Jennifer Powell. 

The St. Ignace Library Kids’ Book Club is reading AL CAPONE DOES MY SHIRTS by Gennifer Choldenko for their next selection.  The title alone makes me want to read that book!

So, a big THANK YOU to the St. Ignace Library and the Kids’ Book Club for a great, great time, and two new books on my “gotta get” list.

Blessings!  Sue
