NOSE IN A BOOK club

This is the first novel I’ve read by Pam Munoz Ryan.   The topics of this book run pretty “deep” for a junior novel, but she handled them delicately without ever skirting the severity of the issues. 

I loved the lessons that the children learned in this book.  Love isn’t bought with things.  Love comes from people who care for you and their simple acts of kindness, compassion, and understanding.  Also, never give up!  Love will triumph.

I definitely recommend this book!  I’ve heard her others are good too, so go out and get one today. 

We enjoyed the cool summer evening while discussing The Redemption of Sarah Cain. We are going to spend the summer reading more books by some of our favorite authors we’ve read this past year and discover some new ones as well.

Look for the new book club selection in August in preparation for our next meeting: tenatively scheduled for the second Tuesday in September.

We discussed choosing books as a group so that we can perhaps branch out a little in our book selection and feel free to talk more candidly about the books we read as a group. [categorize these posts under ‘group book suggestions’] A good place to start is checking out the titles under ‘LIBRARY RESOURCES.’

Also, PLEASE let us know what books you have read or are reading now so that those of us who have the time can read them too. [categorize these posts under ‘FAVS’]

Let’s make this a fun, informative resource for all of us who love to read good books.
