Book Fair – Eric Laster Book Club - Student/Author Luncheon Opportunity

Are you a Brundeedle? Can you defend yourself from Ceparids? Maybe not, but join the book club to see how Welfy Q finds plenty of adventure and action on his way to finding himself.

There are only 20 spots available in the book club for students in grades 4-8th who are interested in reading Welfy Q. Deederhoth: Meat Purveyor, World Savior by book fair author Eric Laster.

Students who commit to the book club will need to attend one meeting per week, either before school or after school, in the month of October. The culmination of the book club will be lunch with the author on Thursday, November 6th.

Please contact Ms. James at [email protected] if your child is interested.

Let’s get to know our featured book fair author Kelly Milner Halls!
Students answering select questions correctly will have their name put in a hat for the opportunity to have lunch with the author during the week of SVdP Book Fair. For 3 weeks in the month of October, Ms. James will post 3 questions on the Library Edline page. Grades K-3^rd are invited to answer those questions using Ms. Hall’s website and turn their answers into the library for a chance to meet the author. Good Luck!
Be on the lookout for the Book Fair Order forms sent home with your student this past week. Pre-order book selections for all our Book Fair authors are due by October 10^th (next Friday). Student accounts and B&N gift card options are available until October 24^th.
