FAIRVIEW- CLIFTON BOOK CLUB
Grades 4-6
Interested in an after school book club 4th quarter?
Frau Connor is offering the opportunity to have a book club 4th quarter after school in the library. Our first reading selection will be Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga, set right here in Clifton. Come read the moving story of Jude, a Syrian girl who leaves everything and everyone behind when she and her mother flee her war-torn home to move to Cincinnati. How is life in America different from the movies Jude has seen? Will she be accepted by her classmates or be forever labeled that “Middle-Eastern” girl? Will America ever become “home” to her?
Join us as we read this award-winning debut novel and discuss what it is like to leave home and move to a foreign country to start a whole new life at the same time facing the same issues every middle school kid faces.
Books will be available for purchase or borrowing for the club and size will be limited to 12 or less members. We are undecided on the day yet so let Frau Connor know what day works best for you and we will try to accommodate everyone if we can. Looking forward to a great club!
