Cover2Cover...Meeting Recap

Ever dream of winning a fantasy cruise on The Love Boat by making it all the way to the top of the $20,000 Pyramid, then being so excited you put on your Walkman and break into a disco dance?  Think some day you will be playing Quidditch while a hologram version of your favorite singer serenades you from the sidelines?  

Hmmm....Things that are round?

Ok, maybe you haven’t dreamt or thought these things, but if you had attended this month’s book club you could have!  The feature book this month was When you Reach Me by Rebecca Stead and the book club members were shown fashion, music, entertainment and news highlights from the late 70’s; played a version of the $20,000 Pyramid; predicted what things will be like in the future; ate lots of Oreos; and even had great discussion about the book.  Fun times for all!

What should we ask Donna Gephart?
I wonder if she knows how to get Oreos crumbs out of your teeth?

Don’t miss out on our next book club meeting on March 7^th when we will be joined by a real live author to celebrate World Read Aloud Day!  Donna Gephardt, who wrote last month’s book club book How to Survive Middle School, will be joining us via Skype to talk about her books, read from her soon-to-be-published book, and maybe even answer a question or two.  See Mrs. Barbarino for a permission slip.  You don’t want to miss this one!!!!!!!
