This blog started due to my sister's plea for help. She asked if I could get her 11 year old son to read this summer. He begins middle school next year, and my sister wanted him to remain in a reading mode. He was somewhat resistant. How could I let my sister down. In addition, it would familiarize me with young people's literature. There you have it. This is how our "little" book club began. We have been reading for approximately three weeks and have completed two books. I'm sure you can guess that I am sharing these books with you. Our next book is "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" by John Boyne.
