A student-organized and student-led 8th grade group, Book Club has grown quickly and creatively. Students meet regularly to share their favorite books, read in pairs or small groups, and have passionate debates about characters and plots. Meeting as a group allows students to spend time with other readers that they may not connect with throughout the regular school day. Between the library, the classroom, and settings out of this world, students share their time and their ideas to make Book Club happen.
