Bookworm Buddies Book Club
5/18/2018 -
Join the Bookworm Buddies (ages 9-12) for a discussion of Peter Brown's "The Wild Robot". "When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is alone on a remote, wild island. Why is she there? Where did she come from? And, most important, how will she survive in her harsh surroundings? Roz's only hope is to learn from the island's hostile animal inhabitants. When she tries to care for an orphaned gosling, the other animals finally decide to help, and the island starts to feel like home. Until one day, the robot's mysterious past comes back to haunt her...." Bookworm Buddies is a book club designed for practiced readers who have progressed beyond beginning chapter books and who are ready to discuss books and their themes more deeply. Chosen books are usually more advanced chapter books. New members are always welcome!
