August 30, 2018A new year and a new set of group members in the middle school book group met to discuss what they like and don't like in the books that they have read. For this first meeting, the group discussed a book that they loved not just liked. The students were given the task of saying what they loved about the book without retelling the story or giving away any plot points. A number of students exclaimed their love for historical fiction novels because there is a true story behind the fiction, and the titles mentioned included Salt to the Sea by Sepetys and Alex & Eliza by de la Cruz as well as The Boy on the Wooden Box by Leyson which is a non-fiction title. Several liked the point of view of a book including the funny title. A Dog's Purpose by Cameron. Other funny titles mentioned were the Mr. Lemoncello's Library series by Grabenstein, The Fairy Tale Reform School series by Calonita, and the Magnus Chase series by Riordan. It is going to be a great year!
